Doublets Puzzle
I saw similar puzzles somewhere else on the internet, and decided I would make up a few of my own and submit them for your solving pleasure.
Doublets are a series of pairs of letters. These letters are obtained by taking the first and last letter of a phase, then the 2nd and 2nd to last letter, then the 3rd and 3rd to last, etc... untill all the letter in a phrase are used. For a phrase with an odd number of letter, the middle letter is a single 'doublet'. After this process, the pairs of letters are alphabetized. That might not be perfectly clear, so here is a good example using the theme of this puzzle: Example: Title: GONE WITH THE WIND Doublets: GD ON NI EW WE IH TT H Alphabetizing: EW GD H IH NI ON TT WE You job is to solve these 5 Doublets. They are all Movie Titles, and I made them pretty popular movies, and mostly shorter movie titles, as I am not sure how tough you guys will find this. I had a pretty tough time with similar puzzles....if you get these I will be happy to make some more challenging ones. 1) ea eb er hc ik ms pe ri st tk 2) ck da dh ac ys 3) a ii tc tn 4) fb gl hc iu t 5) a ao bn cd hw kk lw

Maple Leafs, correct.
OK, so I guess these were not all that hard.

It appears that this is no different than a word jumble, regardless of how the letters were mixed up. Thus "aiitctn" can be instantly seen as "titanic".
