Alphabet of Vehicles

In keeping with this month’s travel theme: Can you think of a vehicle that begins with each letter of the alphabet? Please use generic types of transportation, not brand names of specific vehicles. Also, try to make each answer one word only.

I will post my list on Wednesday.

Alphabet Challenge: Insects

Can you name an insect that begins with every letter of the alphabet?

I have no idea if I can or not, but I’m going to try, and I’ll post what I come up with on Wednesday.

Have a great week until then.

 

Answers: A Happy Alphabet

I found reasonable synonyms for “Happy” that begin with every letter except X and Y. Seems like there ought to be a Y-word out there. Here’s my list:

Animated, blissful, cheery, delighted, ecstatic, fortunate, glad, hopeful, intoxicated, jolly, keen, loving, merry, nonplussed, overjoyed, pleased, quick, rosy, sunny, thrilled, upbeat, victorious, whimsical, and zestful.

This was a fun challenge. There were several good words for a few high-point Scrabble letters, like J and Z, and there were only one or two decent words for some common letters like R and S.

A Happy Alphabet

Can you think of 26 words, one beginning with each letter of the alphabet, that are synonyms for HAPPY?

I will post my answers on Wednesday, and I hope to have 23 words or better.

Cheers!

Answers: Alphabet Challenge

Here’s my list of 25 two-word phrases beginning with the word BLUE, and in which the second word begins with each letter of the alphabet (except X):

Blue angels, blue book, blue chip, Blue Devils, blue earth, blue fish, blue grass, blue hair, blue ice, blue jeans, Blue Knob (in PA, I hadn’t heard of it, but I can’t think of a better answer for K), blue light, blue moon, blue Nile, blue ox, blue pencil, blue quartz (also a bit obscure), blue ribbon, blue screen, blue tooth, Blue Umbrella (another obscurity, a children’s book and movie), blue velvet, blue whale, blue yonder, and blue zones (places where people live exceptionally long lives).

I didn’t find any strong answers for X. Or K, Q, or U, really.

Alphabet Challenge: Blue ___

Now that we are into June and blue skies should be the norm for a while, I got to thinking about two-word phrases with the pattern “blue ___.”

Can you think of 26 common two-word phrases in which the first word is “blue” and the second word starts with each letter of the alphabet?

I hope to have phrases for all but one or two letters by Wednesday, when I’ll post my list.

Alphabet challenge: Games

Can you name a one-word board game or a card game for every letter of the alphabet? For example, A could be Authors or Aggravation.

I’ll post my list on Wednesday, and I hope to have answers for most letters.

Play on!

Monday Challenge: An Alphabet of Movies

In honor of yesterday’s Academy Awards, here is a movie-themed challenge:

Can you think of a one-word movie title for every letter of the alphabet? As I was making my list, movies for some letters came to mind very quickly, but others took more mental energy (and a couple are still blank). I will try to list more recent or more popular movies in my final list, which I will post on Wednesday.

Have fun!
