Hint
The first letters of the words are: B, A, S, A, B, B, R, N, B, C.
Answer
BINARY = BRAINY
ABROAD = ABOARD
RASCAL = SCALAR
ALTARS = ASTRAL
BADGER = BARGED
BARKED = BRAKED
MARBLE = RAMBLE
UNABLE = NEBULA
TABLET = BATTLE
CALLER = CELLAR or RECALL
There are some less common anagrams such as:
RASCAL = SACRAL
ALTARS = TARSAL
ALTARS = RATALS
ALTARS = TALARS
BADGER = GARBED
BARKED = DEBARK
MARBLE = BLAMER
MARBLE = AMBLER
MARBLE = LAMBER
UNABLE = UNBALE
TABLET = BATTEL
So you can have an extra half point if you found one of these! There are some even rarer anagrams, but I don't think I'll allow those!
