Good luck! \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

This month\u2019s puzzle is composed of twenty three-part questions whose one-word answers get shorter by subtraction. A riddle by Roget provides a model for our answers, though not our questions:<\/p>\n

\n

What is that which is under you?
Take one letter from it and it is over you?
Take two letters from it and it is round you?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The answers are chair<\/em>, hair<\/em>, and air.<\/em> Our answers rarely rhyme, but the form is pretty much in line with Roget\u2019s. Letters are taken away\u2014from any part of the word, not just the beginning\u2014but never jumbled; left-to-right order is diminished but maintained. Croton <\/em>could become croon <\/em>but not Orton. <\/em>As those examples illustrate, we\u2019ve imposed no Scrabbly prohibitions on proper nouns. Abbreviations are welcome, too. Note also that letters, as they travel from word to word, might take on diacritical marks, be capitalized, or otherwise undergo modest transformation. Tr\u00e8s<\/em>, for example, might follow trees<\/em>. In most cases, the answer words shrink by ones (bread <\/em>leads to bead <\/em>before heading to bed<\/em>) but in some cases they decrease by twos (bonobo<\/em> to Bono<\/em> to no<\/em>) threes, or fours. Tailgate wags discovered this classic of quadrimedial reduction (above).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Exceptions to the minus-one rule are always parenthetically indicated; the clues for that bonobo <\/em>series would be preceded by \u201c(drop two letters).\u201d<\/p>\n

Our puzzles, alas, aren\u2019t elegantly symmetrical riddles like Roget\u2019s. Each word is simply given a clue. A fairly easy three-part clue for the series starting with bread <\/em>might go as follows:<\/p>\n

Wonder costs less of it than artisanal; often hanging by a thread; a four-poster, for instance<\/p>\n

Clues are separated by semicolons and may include internal punctuation, such as the comma before \u201cfor instance.\u201d For each question, the whole series must be answered correctly to earn contest credit, so while there are sixty total words to guess, the maximum score is twenty.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Yesterday\u2019s Hanes; dapper Cowboy wrangler; Beach Boy\u2019s headshrinker<\/li>\n
  2. Bolsa Chica, for instance; contrapuntal meister; Scroogely exclamation<\/li>\n
  3. Used by a driver stuck on a university or motorcycle; the medium of Trump\u2019s alleged art; the trafficker\u2019s adversary<\/li>\n
  4. (Drop two letters) What teamsters have truck with; practice of Kilkenny\u2019s feline population; great for postlapsarian aprons<\/li>\n
  5. Into pieces; holy minimalist; the aesthete\u2019s religion<\/li>\n
  6. (Drop two letters) Half; French vintner; and<\/li>\n
  7. The Dead did a lot of it; an abstract machinist; a city on the Po<\/li>\n
  8. (Drop four letters) An airman who contemplates rather than aviates; poorly understood by us dimmer bulbs; I object<\/li>\n
  9. Keyboard Attraction; glacial topping; the Silver State in a hurry<\/li>\n
  10. Seen in social and mountainous settings; contortionists are extremely so; you\u2019ll need one in Margaritaville<\/li>\n
  11. (Drop two letters) Easygoing, like certain seventies parents; spoke in Red Square; donned on Hawaiian tarmacs<\/li>\n
  12. Unfashionable shorts; told the story of Moses; one way to get there<\/li>\n
  13. Regulates flow; mostly retired soda line; traded among grade-schoolers<\/li>\n
  14. (Drop two letters) Paleo couple; Victoria is one; how Julie Andrews pleads the sixth<\/li>\n
  15. A shapely adjective and that\u2019s no yolk; oh, it\u2019s nothing; might be introduced by Martha Quinn<\/li>\n
  16. Has skin in its game; created by agitated Doves; when to do the chores<\/li>\n
  17. Makes the point in Berlin; Johnny Rotten; intended, actually<\/li>\n
  18. Might trigger rain; on display at Guitar Center; OBP and SLG<\/li>\n
  19. (Drop three letters) Not often played by the under-eighty set; more than a smidgen; a transcendental number<\/li>\n
  20. Fashionable; only conquered by love; such as a cloche<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
