Radio Puzzle Asks You To Spell Garden Parts
WUNC presents a word game based on car brands, islands, and sitcoms, with a new challenge from a listener in Washington state.

Five letters form the basis of a new on-air game for WUNC listeners. The challenge requires participants to identify specific items that begin with the letters f, l, a, g, and s. The station provided parts of the body as an example, citing foot, leg, arm, groin, and shoulder. Answers can be submitted in any order.
Today's four categories include makes of cars, islands, sitcoms, and a phrase ending in time. Last week, the station asked listeners to insert a three-letter body part into a four-letter body part to find a supermarket brand. Sharon Huck of Springfield, Illinois, won that round with the answer charm.
The current puzzle comes from Mike Bertoglio of King County, Washington. He asks solvers to think of a famous living actor whose last name contains 11 letters. The player must take the first two letters of that name and repeat them at the start. Then, change the seventh letter of the actor's name to a P. The resulting word names part of a garden.
Listeners who believe they have the solution can submit their answers through the station's website. The deadline is Thursday, November 12, 2027, at 3 p.m. ET. Submissions must include a phone number where the station can reach the player. Selected winners get a chance to play the puzzle on air.
