Puzzle Challenge Focuses on U.S. Geographic Names
Listeners must identify twelve two-word locations and one large city based on initial letter clues.

A new set of word puzzles aired on Sunday, November 1, asks participants to identify specific places across the United States. The challenge requires solvers to name twelve locations using two-word answers. A final question seeks the name of a large city in Minnesota.
Each clue provides the starting letters for the correct answer. The first clue is Northeast Haven. The second is Pioneers' Pinnacle. Other clues include Storied Fire, Molten Lava, and Oil Capital. The list also features Lotsa Vacationers, Newlyweds' Favorite, and Dry (very!).
Further clues include Hydroelectric Development, Port Honolulu, and Engineered Channel. The final two-word clue is Health Spa. The last item in the list is a three-word answer for Minnesota's Sizable Population.
The previous week's challenge asked listeners to find two company logos that start with lowercase letters and contain a capital B. The correct answers were eBay and jetBlue. Deborah Freedman of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, won the prize for that round.
The current on-air puzzle includes a separate brain teaser. This question asks solvers to insert a three-letter body part into a four-letter body part. The result creates a brand name found at supermarkets. Participants who solve the main geographic puzzle may submit their answers by Thursday, November 5 at 3 p.m. ET.
Submitters must include a phone number for the station to reach them. Selected listeners will get a chance to play the puzzle on air. The station noted that the answers can be cities, states, rivers, or mountains.
