It is #EnigMarch, and I have been once again baited into creating a puzzle. This puzzle uses interstate words: words formed by placing 2-letter USA state abbreviations in other words. E.g. in the first item below, to form a word clued by "danger", you could put Arizona's code AZ into the word HARD to form HAZARD:
H A Z A Ⓡ D : danger
_ _ _ ◯ _ _ : hushed
_ _ _ _ ◯ _ : true
_ _ _ ◯ _ _ : devoted
_ _ ◯ _ _ _ : unassuming
_ _ ◯ _ _ _ : idea
_ ◯ _ _ _ _ : nevertheless
_ _ _ ◯ _ _ : healer
_ _ _ _ ◯ _ : cleric
AWAY
DOOR
HARD
HOST
LONG
MOST
PEST
SENT
THEY
When you've filled in the blanks, the circled letters should tell you the best part of any state in the USA.
Here's the ROT13'd answer:
