Anagrammy (PfP #72c)

Constructor's Note
IMPORTANT: This is a crossword...except, before you fill in each answer, rearrange its letters to get a different word or valid crossword entry. For example, while 1-Across’s clue suggests DOC, you should actually enter COD in the grid. To keep this puzzle from being terrifyingly difficult, I’ve tried to keep the clues on the easier side. Duck logo! (Sorry, I mean good luck!)

    Wow this was extremely difficult; a good chunk of these words I'm not actually sure what the non anagrammed version is.

      Fun one! I love trying to figure out these puzzles - @scantor has posted a bunch of them if anybody is looking for more

        Very cool! I almost managed without help; TEENAGER / RAG / NATION did me in.

          That was fun! About half of the words were easy to get, and the other half was hard to figure out the unanagrammed version. The long clues were the hardest

            It looks like I may have underestimated the difficulty of this puzzle! In any case, a reminder that you can see all the un-anagrammed words at http://tinyurl.com/pfp-72-answers

              Fantastic bite-size challenge. Kept me guessing to the end. Very nice longer anagrams like ANOINT / NATION and FIENDISH / FINISHED.
