Conundrum 10
23 August, 2013
Long-time dabbler Mauve came up with a neat puzzle during the week. His question is this: What common five-letter word can lose its initial S to reveal what it isn’t?
The same conundrum inspires a game idea, where we dock the S-initials off any word that works, so making for a STRUMPET TRUMPET, or a SAD AD. Or these six:
DA1. Chilly nag (4,5)
DA2. Extensive grief (8,7)
DA3. More vapid idolator (9,8)
DA4. Depletes Hogwarts? (8,7)
DA5. Hogwarts groupie? (6,7)
DA6. Economic recovery due? (8,7)
*Add you own. And thanks to Mauve for the brainwave. *
