It is #EnigMarch, and each day the excellent EnigMarch people post a prompt word; then puzzle nerds try to design puzzles around that word. (Today's word is power.)
Here's a classic Puzzazz daily puzzle type: The following clues define four 3-letter words and four 5-letter words. Each of the 3-letter words fits into the middle of one of the 5-letter words, like OWE and POWER. Figure out the words and fit them into the square below.
- Building addition
- Kidlit pachyderm
- Muscle power
- St Louis "Hot in Herre" rapper
-
Uncooked - USA gov't clean-air org.
- USA Lawyers' org.
- What you must do if you [middle three letters of power]
| R | Ⓐ | W | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ◯ | ||||
| ◯ | ||||
| ◯ | ||||
(not too confident the nice grid formatting will come through OK in RSS readers, oh well)
When you're done, the circled letters will spell a word that means, roughly, "having the power to do something." ◯◯◯◯
