Take the name of the game. Remove three letters. Rearrange. You get a weapon.
ReplyDeleteNot in the street!
ReplyDeleteThe game that involves transportation has four state postal abbreviations in a row.
ReplyDeleteQuite true.
DeleteCute observation
DeleteWhen I lived in one of those four states I was given directions to another of the three. But I can't repeat them in mixed company.
DeleteI don't want to say how many of those states I've lived in.
DeleteGot the answer. Congrats to the creator but you have to admit this is one of the most convoluted sets of puzzle instructions you’ve ever seen. No clue here. And what kind of “ask” is, “What things are these?”
ReplyDeleteI thought this was harder than last week's puzzle but there were only 300 correct submissions to that one so what do I know?
ReplyDeleteA lot of colleges
DeleteYou can rule out Amazon.....or can you?
ReplyDeleteYou’ve delivered quite a clue!
Delete21 years apart.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Chuck re the convoluted instructions. But fun puzzle nevertheless.
ReplyDeleteIf you take the first two and last two letters of the game and reverse them, you get another form of transportation (that some may find familiar).
I'm reminded of one of Blaine's holiday videos, I think.

ReplyDeleteThis one has me going in circles
ReplyDeleteMusical clue: Arlo Guthrie.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what both JAWS and Lorenzo posted at the end of last week's blog re: this puzzle. However, that being said, I ended up enjoying it because, although I never heard of the game, I was able to basically solve it while still in bed. I then had to google to see if I actually had solved it.
ReplyDeletePretty much the same for me, except I was not in bed! (I was nine timezones from you.)
DeleteI am so very envious!
DeleteMusical Clues: Sha Na Na, Allman Brothers Band, and Ben Jaeger.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a while to get this. Like sdb, I had never before heard of the “game that involved transportation,” so I had to guess and then research it. Live and learn.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, the answer to last week’s puzzle included three states. This week’s excluded four.
