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 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.

Oh, I almost forgot. I changed one letter in each of the two words. So the clue would appear as, say, HURTING PICKETS. Please provide all three words in your answer (HUNTING SEASON TICKETS). One per person as usual.

Scott Weiss @squonk777.bsky.social · 02/03/2026
#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.

Clues are given in alphabetical order of the words they hint at. Feel free to answer a clue, but only give one to let others have a chance. I also encourage you to provide your own clues for others to guess.

Scott Weiss @squonk777.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
For example, if the clue were CHILD (3/6), "child" is a hint for "son" which is 3 letters. Precede "son" with the sound C, and you'll get SEASON. Note that the clued word will always keep its spelling but may change its pronunciation when the letter sound is added in front.
100
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.

If you've never played one of my Anti-Match Quizzes, the questions have multiple correct answers. The goal is to come up with an answer provided by the fewest other participants. The game titles are a jumping-off point; you don't need to know anything about them.

Scott Weiss @squonk777.bsky.social · 09/09/2025
I looked at his list and immediately thought the titles would make good fodder for a new Anti-Match Quiz. I took the ten titles in the "Quick and Fun" section and made a quiz. In the spirit of fun and games, I've tried to make these more general-knowledge or vocabulary-based than usual.
