Every month, the<\/em>\u00a0Daily features a puzzle by Dylan Hicks.<\/em>\u00a0The first list of correct answers<\/strong>\u00a0wins a year\u2019s subscription to<\/em>\u00a0The Paris Review. (In the event that no one can get every answer, the list with the most correct responses will win.)<\/em>\u00a0Send an e-mail with your\u00a0answers to contests@theparisreview.org.\u00a0<\/strong>The deadline is\u00a0Friday, November 4<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>when we\u2019ll post the answers. Good luck! \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

This month, the puzzle makes one of its intermittent returns to the semipopular rhyming game hink pink. As was previously explained in nearly identical language, hink pink is a word game in which synonyms, circumlocution, and micronarratives provide clues for rhyming phrases. In the standard explanatory example, an \u201coverweight feline\u201d is a \u201cfat cat.\u201d Hink Pinks on that babyish level aspire to lend vocabulary building an air of fun, but more sophisticated puzzles are sometimes mulled over on road trips, in trenches, and in other settings where boredom and tension might be mellowed, to paraphrase Dryden, by the dull sweets of rhyme.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Players aren\u2019t restricted to monosyllables. A puzzle of disyllabic components is a hinky pinky, followed with decreasing dignity by hinkily pinkilies, hinklediddle pinklediddles, and hinklediddledoo pinklediddledoos. Even with longer puzzles, however, the goal, almost a mandate, is for each syllable to rhyme perfectly, though this perfection might depend on idiosyncratic stress and other slight fudges. Several of the puzzles below are possessive constructions along the lines of \u201cBob\u2019s jobs,\u201d but where pluralization seemed cumbersome, nearly perfect rhymes were tolerated (\u201cBob\u2019s job\u201d). If you\u2019re spurred to dream up hink pinks of your own, keep in mind that answers shouldn\u2019t merely rhyme but also hold meaning, however whimsically, as a unit. \u201cTree soda\u201d might lead to \u201coak Coke,\u201d but joylessly. \u201cNaturalist\u2019s soft drink\u201d for \u201cZola\u2019s cola\u201d is more in the spirit. Despite the headline, this month\u2019s puzzles aren\u2019t especially \u201cautumnal\u201d; the word was thrown in only to distinguish these forty hink pinks from this summer\u2019s, which weren\u2019t seasonable either.<\/p>\n

As always, the contest is rigged so that the first participant to submit a complete set of correct answers wins. If no one gets them all right, the entrant with the most correct answers wins, with a tiebreaker, again, going to the earliest submitter.<\/p>\n
