Day 4: HINT Today's puzzle is entirely hints! I'll give you hints to potential answers to well-known queries from history, literature, TV, film, pop culture or everyday life. You identify the query. For example, "Hint: You're wearing a watch" would be a hint for "What time is it?"

#EnigMarch A bonus puzzle! Answer the clues in the next posts, keeping in mind today's prompt (CENTER), and the order in which the clues appear. One per person.

Scott Weiss @squonk777.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
#EnigMarch Today's puzzle is losing money! If we take the word CENT out of CENTER, you'll be left with ER. I've removed a unit of currency or other word associated with money from other words (or in 2 instances, phrases) leaving the strings seen in the next post.

#EnigMarch Day 2: COLOR I'll give you two words. The first word can precede the name of a color to make a 2-word phrase or name. The second word can follow that color to make a 2-word phrase or name. For example, using yesterday's prompt of SEASON as the middle, the words could be HUNTING TICKETS.

Scott Weiss @squonk777.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
#Enigmarch Day 1: SEASON I'm going to give you a clue for a word. If you precede the new word with the sound of the first letter of the clue, you'll get a brand-new word. I'll give enumerations for both the word being clued, and the word once the letter is added to it.

Posted this to the NPL list: Take the two word name for a certain snack. Add a letter at the end of each word in the name, then split each word in two. You'll end up with the names of four different Greek letters. What is the snack, and what are the letters?

The phrase FALSE FRONT could be used in a cryptic crossword to clue the letter F, as it is the "front" of the word "false". In the next posts, I'll give you several letters; your job is to give a phrase that could clue each one.
