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.<\/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. Many 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 as a unit, however whimsically. \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.<\/p>\n
