Six paired word clues require answers where swapping the first and last letters of the first answer produces the second answer. An illustrative example shows SPICE becoming EPICS. The six pairs include prompts such as making a grand speech versus the Muse of love poetry; a skull-and-crossbones meaning versus wandered around; words to a song versus the saint for whom the Russian alphabet is named; yell versus amounts equal to ten $100 bills; delivery-driver assignments versus former Justice David; and a small shoulder bag versus gate fasteners. The column also lists last week’s challenge, its answer and winner, and presents a new singer-name letter puzzle with a submission deadline.
