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?
