"Think of a word that means "very small." Move the first syllable to the end, separated by a space, and you'll get a two-word phrase naming something that is very large. What words are these? If you know the answer to the challenge, submit it here by Thursday, Jan. 22 at 3 p.m. ET. Listeners whose answers are selected win a chance to play the on-air puzzle. Important: include a phone number where we can reach you."
A set of eight-letter words invites insertion of two adjacent letters to form familiar ten-letter words; example: INTIMATE --> INTIMIDATE. The list includes ALLIANCE, DEMOTION, TRAMLINE, INHERENT, PARTICLE, LIBATION, COALESCE, INFINITE and COMPROMISE. A previous puzzle asked for a well-known couple whose two names total seven letters; combining the names, changing an E to an S, and rearranging produced another famous duo. The solution was Adam & Eve → Sam & Dave, and the winner was Iilyse Levine-Kanji of Westborough, Mass. A new puzzle asks for a word meaning "very small" that becomes a two-word phrase meaning something very large when its first syllable is moved to the end; submit answers by Jan. 22 at 3 p.m. ET with a phone number.
