New word games are on the air.
The Wyoming Public Media team is running a Categories game built around the word "flags." Listeners must fill five slots for each category. The entries must start with the letters f, l, a, g, and s. The order of the answers does not matter. The current categories are Makes of Cars, Islands, Sitcoms, and a blank followed by Time.
Sharon Huck of Springfield, Illinois, won last week's challenge. She solved a riddle asking for a brand name found in a supermarket. The answer was Charm. The puzzle asked for a three-letter body part inserted into a four-letter body part. The result spelled the brand name.
A new challenge is live for this week. The riddle comes from Mike Bertoglio of King County, Washington. He asks for the name of a part of a garden. The clue involves a famous living actor with an 11-letter last name. The player must take the first two letters of that name and repeat them at the start. The seventh letter of the actor's name must change to a P.
Listeners who believe they have the solution can submit their answers. The deadline is 3 p.m. ET on Thursday, November 12, 2027. Participants must include a phone number where the producers can reach them. Selected winners get a chance to play the on-air puzzle.
