Most motor vehicles sold in this country have both a manufacturer's name and model name, like Chevrolet Malibu, Toyota Corolla, where Chevrolet is the manufacturer and Malibu is the model, or Toyota is the manufacturer, and Carolla is the model.
Let's take one of those motor vehicles that has an actual model name and is currently being sold in the United States and it could be a car, a truck, an SUV, it doesn't matter, it's a model that is currently sold in the United States.
Take that model name. Remove the last letter, and the remaining letters, in order, spell a new word. Now remove the new last letter, and you have yet another new word. Do it again and you have now another new word. Do it once more and you have another new word. So you'll have done it four times, and have four different words, all of which you can find in the dictionary.
Here's the last piece of it. Now put all the pieces back, go back to the original word, and remove the first letter. And you have yet another new word.
What's the model name?

All right I give up. What is it?
ReplyDeleteRanger. Thanks for playing!
ReplyDeleteThat kind of puzzle gives me that last word (go back to the original word and remove the first letter).
ReplyDeleteI couldn't even follow the directions - were you able to do this one quickly? I need to get back to the crossword, my brain is fading...!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Aunt Gail. The directions lost me too!
ReplyDeleteSuch complainers, all of you! I think the on-air text is better than just reading it. The Puzzler winner is chosen at random from among hundreds of correct answers every week, so I hope we're not just slow here.
