Weekend Brain Teaser: Spontaneous Spelling Adjustment
It's time for another intriguing instalment of the Sunday Puzzle! This week's challenge comes from Eric Chaikin, of Westlake Village, Calif. As always, the game is all about cars, and every answer is the name of a make of automobile.
The first question is a classic: Change one letter in BRICK to name a make of car. The second question requires finding a make of car that's an anagram of NEUTRAL. If you crack that one, you're off to a good start!
The fifth question is a bit trickier: Find a car whose name is a mammal. And if you can find a car make that starts with CA- and ends with -AC, you're on a roll!
The seventh question is a five-letter car name with an X in the middle. Can you guess it? And for those who are particularly clever, the ninth question is to find a make of car that's an anagram of MET ARIAS.
The fourth question challenges you to identify two cars that have names of U.S. presidents. And for the creative minds, the sixth question is to find a 12-letter car name with four E's and no other vowel.
The winner of last week's challenge, a two-week creative challenge, was Jon Wentz from Stillwater, Minn. Jon's palindrome for the previous challenge was "God, y'know Spot's IQ is tops. Wonky dog!"
Remember, listeners whose answers are selected for this week's challenge will have a chance to play the on-air puzzle. The deadline to submit your answers is Thursday, August 7th at 3 p.m. ET.
The question for this week's challenge is: "I turned on the TV and saw anger, evil, slander, and ruin. It was all pleasant news. What channel was I watching and what specifically was on the screen?"
So, grab your thinking caps and get ready for another exciting Sunday Puzzle! Good luck!
