The Island of Dr. Brain/Robot village

Through the back end of the volcano is the cool air of the valley behind the mountain. Several robots, who will emerge and do a little dance if you click on the door to their hut, have made their home in this valley. As you look around, take notice of three things in particular: the giant ant hill, the corn field, and the apple tree. These correspond to the anthill antonym puzzle, the hominy homynym puzzle, and the apple synonym puzzle (a play on "apple cinnamon") respectively. These can be played in any order, but all three must be completed before you can move on to the next section.

Antonym Anthill

For this puzzle, the object is to replace each of the colored words below with a word that an ant above is carrying. In the novice and standard difficulties, if you have a sentence correct, the words will change color to let you know. On Expert difficulty, you won't know if you have them all until they are all correct.
