Happy Symphonic Metal Day!

A.J. goes over his autumn reading list. Later, Greg challenges him and Andrea with a puzzle about spotting instruments and metals hidden in anagrams.

In honor of World Symphonic Metal Day, Greg serves up a tricky anagram challenge: unscramble words into musical instruments or metallic elements, with one extra letter hiding a secret message. See if you can crack the meta-puzzle before the hosts do!

Today's puzzles:

• Symphonic Metals: Unscramble each word into a musical instrument or metallic element, plus one extra letter. Collect the leftover letters to uncover the hidden message.
