On-air challenge: Every answer is a three-word phrase, in which each word has four letters. All three words end in the same three letters, and they rhyme. For example, given the clue, "Series of offerings of excellent chardonnays and Rieslings," the answer would be "fine wine line."
Last week's challenge from Pierre Berloquin: What letter comes next in this series: W, L, C, N, I, T?
Answer: The next letter is "S." The series represents the initial letters of the words in the question "What letter comes next in this series?"
Winner: Carl Huber of York, Pa.
Next week's challenge from Jeffrey Harris of Norwalk, Conn.: Think of a word associated with Halloween. Add a letter in the second position to create a new word that does not rhyme with the first. Then add another letter in the third position of the word you just created to complete another word that does not rhyme with either of the first two. What words are these?
