"Think of a word that means exceptionally good. Add two letters at the end of to make a word that means the exact opposite. What words are these? Challenge answer Superb, superbad Winner Matt Walsh of St. Louis Park, Minnesota. This week's challenge This week's challenge comes from Dan Pitt, of Palo Alto, Calif. Think of something to drink in two words. Rearrange the letters to spell a famous prison and a means of getting out of prison. What words are these?"
Every answer requires adding a single letter to a provided base word and then anagramming the result to name an item one might find in a hotel room. Ten base items are given with added letters: RICH+A, HORSE+W, ANKLET+B, RANGES+H, OOMPAH+S, SEDERS+R, CREAKY+D, STREAMS+T, RIPPLES+S, NOVELTIES+I. A previous challenge asked for a word meaning exceptionally good that becomes its opposite when two letters are appended; the answer pair is Superb and superbad, with Matt Walsh named as the winner. A new challenge asks for a two-word drink phrase whose letters can be rearranged into a famous prison and a way to get out; submissions earn a chance to play on-air and must arrive by the stated deadline.
