Did you solve it? Wordplay wizardry by the UK's king of quiz

UK Quizmaster Frank Paul has set a trio of wordplay puzzles that will test your linguistic agility.

In his latest challenge, Paul has created three types of puzzles: each answer is a pair of words with identical spelling but differing in consecutive consonants and vowels. For instance, "mildly" answers the first question ("In a gentle way; social environment"), while "milieu" does the same for the second query ("Good qualities; requiring much exertion"). A similar process applies to the third puzzle, where words are transformed into new ones by removing or replacing letters.

The final challenge, however, is a bit more complex. Paul describes it as a 'word loop,' where three consecutive words form a circular sequence: "hold forth with" answers the question ("Talk at length; immediately; keep back"). The answer should then be rotated and rearranged into a different sequence while maintaining its original meaning.

Throughout these puzzles, Frank Paul has demonstrated his mastery of linguistic acrobatics, pushing language to new limits. Can you unravel these wordplay enigmas?
 
Wordplay is like a puzzle in my brain ๐Ÿคฏ... I love it when people push the limits of language like this. It's so cool how Frank Paul creates these challenges that require you to think outside the box. The "word loop" thing sounds especially tricky, but also super interesting ๐Ÿ“š. Anyone up for giving it a try?
 
OMG ๐Ÿคฏ I'm so stoked to see Frank Paul's latest challenge! The way he's twisted words to create these crazy puzzles is insane ๐Ÿ˜‚. I mean, who wouldn't want to figure out the meaning behind "milieu" and "mildly"? It's like, wordplay on steroids ๐Ÿ’ช. And that final puzzle? Mind. Blown ๐Ÿคฏ A word loop? That's like trying to solve a linguistic Rubik's cube ๐Ÿงฉ. I'm totally here for it! Can't wait to give these puzzles a try and see how far my language skills will take me ๐Ÿ’ป
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this "word loop" challenge ๐Ÿคฏ... I mean, what if you get stuck on the first sequence and can't think of an alternative answer? You'd have to think outside the box (or in this case, the word circle) and come up with something that still makes sense ๐Ÿ”“. And then there's the pressure of having to rotate the words while keeping the meaning intact... it's like trying to solve a puzzle blindfolded ๐ŸŽ‰. I've seen some clever solutions online already, but I'm not convinced it's solvable for everyone ๐Ÿค”. Can't wait to see how people tackle this one! ๐Ÿ‘€
 
๐Ÿค” This guy is like a master wordsmith, I'm impressed how he's able to create all these puzzles with different levels of complexity ๐Ÿ“š. The "word loop" concept is pretty cool, it's like trying to solve a puzzle within a puzzle ๐Ÿ”’. It's definitely going to take some serious linguistic gymnastics to figure out the answers ๐Ÿ’ช.
 
๐Ÿคฏ I mean, think about it... language is like a puzzle in itself, right? We're always playing with words, trying to find the perfect fit, but sometimes it feels like we're just scratching the surface. These puzzles by Frank Paul are like a mirror held up to our understanding of language - they make us realize how slippery and versatile it can be. I love how he's pushed the boundaries, creating these word loops that require us to think outside the box... or in this case, the sentence! It's like, what if we're not just solving puzzles, but also uncovering the hidden patterns and connections between words? ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’ก
 
Wow ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿคฏ this is so cool, I love the sound of the 'word loop' challenge! It's like a puzzle within a puzzle ๐Ÿงฉ. I'm intrigued by how Frank Paul has created these clever wordplay puzzles that test your linguistic agility ๐Ÿ”€. The idea of taking two words with identical spelling but differing in consecutive consonants and vowels is genius ๐Ÿ’ก. Can't wait to give it a try! ๐Ÿ‘
 
You know, I was thinking about this 'word loop' puzzle the other day and it got me wondering... how do we navigate through life with all its twists and turns? It's like trying to solve a puzzle where the pieces keep changing shape before our eyes. But here's the thing: just because the rules change doesn't mean we can't find a way forward. We gotta be adaptable, just like Paul is with his wordplay puzzles. And that's what it's all about - finding creative solutions to life's complex challenges ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ’ก
 
๐Ÿค” I'm loving the complexity of Frank Paul's latest puzzle set - it's like a linguistic Rubik's cube ๐Ÿงฉ! The idea of swapping consonants and vowels while maintaining identical spellings is pure genius, and the 'word loop' challenge is an ingenious test of language flexibility. It's fascinating to think about how one can rearrange words to convey different meanings without changing their core essence ๐Ÿ’ก. I'm also intrigued by the idea that Paul is pushing language to new limits - it's a testament to his mastery of linguistic acrobatics ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Can't wait to give these puzzles a try and see if my linguistic agility can keep up! ๐Ÿ˜Š
 
I gotta say, this guy Frank Paul is like a puzzle master or something ๐Ÿคฏ. The way he's playing with words and creating these crazy word loops is mind-blowing ๐Ÿ˜ฎ. I mean, who comes up with stuff like "mildly" vs "milieu"? Genius, that's who ๐Ÿ’ก. And the final challenge? Forget about it, that's some next-level puzzle stuff ๐Ÿคฏ. I'm definitely gonna give this a try and see if I can keep up with Frank Paul's linguistic agility ๐Ÿ˜…. Anyone got any hints or tips on how to solve these puzzles without losing their mind?! ๐Ÿค”
 
omg what kind of puzzle is this ๐Ÿคฏ?! thinkin you can just change two letters and turn "mildly" into "milieu"? ๐Ÿ™„ like, how hard is that? i mean dont get me wrong pauls got skills but come on these puzzles are more like childhood playthings than actual brain teasers ๐Ÿ˜‚ what if the answer was somethin else entirely? wouldnt be as satisfying then ๐Ÿค”
 
I'm not buying it ๐Ÿค”. How does this guy come up with these puzzles without any explanation or proof? I mean, I've seen some clever wordplay in my time, but this is just too convenient. Where's the evidence to back up his claims that "mildly" and "milieu" are the correct answers? And what about all the other words that could fit the descriptions? It's just a bunch of untested assumptions ๐Ÿ˜’. I need some credible sources before I start solving these puzzles, or I'll be left looking like an idiot ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ.
 
OMG, I'm like so down for this challenge ๐Ÿคฉ! The way the words change with just a few letters is insane ๐Ÿคฏ, like how 'mildly' and 'milieu' are almost identical but totally different vibes. And that final puzzle sounds like a total brain twister ๐Ÿ”€... but in a good way ๐Ÿ˜‚, I love when puzzles push me out of my comfort zone. Does anyone else think this is more about wordplay than actual trivia ๐Ÿค”?
 
๐Ÿค” I'm actually pretty stoked that someone like Frank Paul is still out there creating puzzles that challenge our brains in the most awesome way possible! Like, who doesn't love a good brain-twister, right? ๐Ÿคฏ It's so cool to see how he's able to create these complex wordplay challenges that test your linguistic agility. And I gotta say, that final 'word loop' thing sounds like a real mind-bender โ€“ I'm definitely gonna have to give it a shot and see if I can crack the code! ๐Ÿ’ก
 
๐Ÿค” I'm loving this new puzzle challenge by Frank Paul! The way he's playing with words is mind-blowing ๐Ÿ˜ฎ. These word loops are like a brain teaser - trying to figure out how the answer changes but still makes sense ๐Ÿคฏ. I mean, who comes up with stuff like "milieu" and "mildly"? Genius! ๐Ÿ”ฅ And that final puzzle where you have to rotate the words? That's pure mental gymnastics ๐Ÿ’ช. Can't wait to give it a try and see how well I can solve them... wish me luck! ๐Ÿ˜…
 
๐Ÿ’ก I'm not sure about this one... the idea of "word loops" seems super tricky! It's like trying to solve a Rubik's cube while thinking of meanings ๐Ÿ˜‚. But at the same time, it sounds kinda fun ๐Ÿค”. If you're good at wordplay puzzles, then this is right up your alley ๐ŸŽ‰. I'm curious to see if regular people can tackle these linguistic acrobatics ๐Ÿ’ช or if only language nerds like Frank Paul can figure them out ๐Ÿค“...
 
man I just love wordplay puzzles like this they're so clever ๐Ÿคฏ and require such a different thinking process not just memorization or dictionary lookup but actually understanding how words can be manipulated and used in context ๐Ÿ˜Š it's almost like a little brain workout ๐Ÿ’ช and Frank Paul is like the ultimate master of language magic - I'm intrigued by these puzzles especially the final challenge with the word loop sounds super challenging ๐Ÿ”’ but at the same time kind of exciting ๐ŸŽ‰ gotta try solving them and see how far I can get ๐Ÿ‘
