Below are 5 alphagrams. Each can be anagrammed to make 5 words.

The first couple of alphagrams are comparatively easy so try to find at least 4 answers for each.

The next two alphagrams contain one obscure-ish word in the five answers.

The last alphagram is quite hard  - only 1-2 are everyday words.
