I am playing Gameboy Advance The Hobbit and I can’t cross this bridge because there is a rock in the way. The rock gives me an anagram to solve with the letters L-D-O-E-N-R. I have beat myself silly trying to figure it out but this puzzle is beating the shit out of me. I have not read the book for more than 20 years and the anagram seems to not be any word I can think of. If any one of you has any information to help me I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance… zoo ---

Has the troup reached the Last Homely House West of the Misty Mountains, yet? You might want to ask for an assist from the kindly master of that house. ---

Oh, and I meant, “troupe”, not “troup”. Also, you’re welcome. ---

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. The old man at the last house says " Thank you for getting rid of the rats." I would like more clues if possible. Thank you in advance… zoo ---

I figure this doesn’t count as a spoiler to anyone who has read any of the books or seen any of the movies: Elrond. ---
