Hat trick, and four other head-scratchers
Hat trick
❓1. Think of a state capital. Change the silent letter to an E. Then change the last letter to either (1), the next letter in the alphabet; or (2), the next vowel in the alphabet.
Rearrange result (1) to give the state capital of a second state and a name for a body part. Rearrange result (2) to give the state capital of a third state and a different body part. What are the three state capitals and two body parts?
The last stand (a 3-part puzzle)
❓2. Solve the three parts, below:
1. Which US states cannot be anagrammed from any combination of other US states, using for the set of source letters as many states as necessary, but no individual state more than once, and neglecting leftover letters?
2. Add to this source set the set of US state capitals. Using the expanded set, what additional state(s) from Part 1 now can be anagrammed?
3. One state remains “un-anagrammable” after Part 2. Anagram this state from a former US possession and the postal abbreviation of one US state (which are, of course, included in the state name). Neglect leftover letters.
Three. Part. Quiz.
❓3. In the USA, one state, one territory, and one state capital each have one syllable, when correctly pronounced. What are they?
The best compliment
❓4. What is the best compliment that one can receive about one’s competence in speaking a foreign language? (Of course, the compliment can be formulated in many ways, each expressing the same essential idea.)

Who is the biblical figure?
What is this Broadway musical and who is its songwriter?
Hint: The songwriter’s surname is the site of a battle in the war which is the focus of the musical.
ENTREE #3:
Think of a famous award-winning writer whose last name is a synonym of “howl.” Add a letter to the end of the last name to spell something that can fan the flames. This flame-fanner is an anagram of a famous biographer’s last name.
Who are these two writers?
ENTREE #4:
An author wrote a novel that includes two characters who are also writers. One of these characters, as the plot of the novel unfolds, turns out to be “clearly guilty” of immoral conduct and is, eventually, murdered. The full name of the other, more minor, character is an anagram of the full name of novel’s author. This full name contains three of the five vowels (A, E, I, O, and U) each exactly twice. Who is this author?
ENTREE #5:
Think of a writer who deserves to be more famous, first and last names. These two names contain five of the six vowels (A, E, I, O, U and Y) at least once. Ergo, there is one vowel it does not contain. And thus, a hyphenated homophone of the first word in the title of one of the writer’s novels describes the writer’s first and last names. (This hyphenated homophone is a word not found in dictionaries, but its meaning is so easily understood that a definition is not necessary.) Who is this writer?
Hint: The writer, who was not born in the U.S., died in the U.S. on a day that was a significant day in U.S. history.
ENTREE #6:
Think of a puzzle-maker, first and last names. Remove one letter.
The remaining letters can be rearranged to form two first names. One is the first name of a character on an NBC sitcom adapted from a BBC series. The other is the first name of a character on a USA network comedy-drama. One actress portrayed both of these characters.

Seven Unbeatable Conundrums:
Government, politics and fake news!
🥁1. Think of an acronym for a government agency, in five letters, that can be rearranged into an element on the periodic table.
🥁2. Name a garment in two words, four and ten letters. Remove the fourth, sixth through tenth, and fourteenth letters. Reverse what’s left to name a seven-letter government acronym.
🥁3. Think of a word for a frequent political issue in six letters. Change a D to an E and rearrange to get a word that means “to go back on”.
🥁4. Think of a television announcer whose last name ends with the same two letters that their first name starts with. Write one after the other, overlapping the shared letters. The result will name a presidential power.
🥁5. Think of a production studio in seven letters. Two different eight-letter animal species begin with the same four letters as the start of the studio name. For one of these animals, drop the first four letters, reverse the remaining letters, and add a political campaign slogan to name an aggressive style of fighting. For the other animal, dropping the first four letters leaves the name of a predatory animal. This animal name can itself be reversed to get a mental state required for many fighting styles.
🥁6. Think of a six-letter compound word that describes what you do to win some contests. Swap the fourth and fifth letters, then move the first three letters to the end, while also leaving in place a copy of the third letter, to get a seven-letter compound word that measures voter participation.
🥁7. Name an error a reporter might make, with four total vowels. Swap the first and third vowels, and change the last vowel to another. The result is an insect that sensationalist reporters might be compared to.
