For NPR puzzle posts, don't post the answer or any hints that could lead to the answer before the deadline (usually Thursday at 3pm ET). If you know the answer, submit it to NPR, but don't give it away here.
You may provide indirect hints to the answer to show you know it, but make sure they don't assist with solving. You can openly discuss your hints and the answer after the deadline. Thank you.
The key is in the Bible.

DeleteApologies.
DeleteRemove all letters that appear more than once in the name of the character. Rearrange to get something you might find in the ocean.
ReplyDeleteOne actor who played the long running character is from my old stomping ground. Although by today's standards, he'd have to be from somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteName an actor who played the character. Remove five consecutive letters. Add a word that is the opposite of what remains of the actor's first name. The result is a novel solution.
ReplyDeleteThe three letters that are removed can be anagrammed to either spell a rock band abbreviation or the first three letters of another musical group.
ReplyDeleteMusical clue: Sam Cooke.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. Easy puzzle today from Lego but you can always change the station if you don't like this week's offering.
ReplyDeleteNice one, Lego! I'm thinking the correct submissions will be back to 4 digits this week.
ReplyDeleteYes, I expect bigger numbers this week too.
DeleteI got the answer - this week’s challenge is relatively easy, in stark contrast to last week’s challenge.
ReplyDeleteThe character was originally described as being from a specific location, although many of the films featured different locations.
ReplyDeleteSeveral TV shows, in a similar genre to the original, feature the original location.
Nothing to add but my congrats to Joseph. Not sure anyone keeps track of this but is it possible that you are the all time leading guest contributor to the NPR Sunday morning puzzle? It wouldn't surprise me a bit... :)
