It is March and the
lovely EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers
to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "ship".
Oh no! The USA clown President Trump
(egged on by his buffoonish adviser Elon Musk)
wants to take away birthright citizenship!
It's in the USA constitution, but it's not like he
swore an oath to uphold that old rag, right?
Anyhow, federal judges keep stopping him.
This must be very frustrating.
So let's take away from some other -ships. Below are some
clues for some -ship words. The clues are kinda vague, so
you probably want to look at the "What remains" section down
there. For each of those, you want to add one letter, then
re-arrange, and then put a -ship on the end. That will give you
one of the -ship words. You can see that we added a T to
carotid to get the dictator in dictatorship.
Keep track of those letters you added. When you're done,
you'll get the name of a ship that was directed about as
well as Trump directs the USA.
It feels like he's trying to reach Autocracy; but his
track record says he'll hit Bankruptcy (again) first.
Autocracy: | dicⓉator ship
|
Political tilt: | ____________ship
|
It might be marital: | ____________ship
|
Nice board seat: | ____________ship
|
Good will: | ____________ship
|

What remains: aileron, carotid, fired!, reverie, rich man, spartan, spliced

It is March and the
lovely EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers
to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "quarter".
Oh no! The USA clown President Trump
(egged on by his buffoonish adviser Elon Musk)
have canceled science grants to study mice because
they think the scientists are trying to make mice
transgender. This is, of course, stupid nonsense.
How could they believe it?
One theory: They don't know the difference between the words
transgender and transgenic. It would be nice
to think that the people pointlessly wrecking so much did so
because they were just ¼ wrong. (Does -der/ic count as three
letters or two? If we split the difference and say 2½ letters, that's
about a quarter of the word.)
(The Snopes fact-checkers pointed out a hole in
this "transgenic" theory. They think Trump believed a
remarkably-wrong investigation that "found" university
experiments turning mice transgender. The investigation was
stupid; it would only convince the most gullible… Oh no!
Anyhow, let's stick with the "transgenic" theory for now because
I can make a puzzle out of it.)
So now I see we must explain the differences between words,
because those words are mostly the same. But in each
pair of words, one has IC, and the other has 1-3 other letters.
E.g.: here we see that Voice and Volume are mostly the
same (looking like Vo_e), but VoⓁⓊⓂe has a few different letters,
which we circle:
🗣️: | v o🄸🄲e | v oⓁⓊⓂe | 🔊
|
Fashion ____: | 🄸🄲_ _ | ◯◯◯_ _ | Robber _____
|
|
Indifferent a la Zeno: | _ _ _🄸🄲 | _ _ _◯ | 🛑
|
Lies in literature: | _🄸🄲_ _ _ _ | _◯◯◯_ _ _ _ | Form follows _____
|
Nice, as in view: | _ _ _ _🄸🄲 | _ _ _ _◯ | Aroma, as in p-u
|
Rigid: | _ _ _🄸🄲_ | _ _ _◯_ | Swagger
|
It must flow: | _ _🄸🄲_ | _ _◯◯_ | Rampage, but for shopping
|
Ic-words, transposal'd: Cceins, Ceiov, Ceips, Cfiinot, Cino, Ciost, Cirstt
These are the IC-words, each a transposal
(that's old-timey wordplay jargon for "anagramming").
We crossed out Ceiov, because we already figured out Voice.
When you're done, the circled letters should spell out a
science-y way Congress might try to find a spine.

It is March and the
lovely EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers
to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "link".
There's no story or secret message today.
This is just a word ladder. If it's working correctly,
then typing a letter in one square will make that letter
also appear in the appropriate squares in the
same row and in the adjacent rows above and below.
But if typing in letters haphazardly is no fun, know
this: these are the names of USA presidents since 1937 ordered
by their average approval ratings in polls. Highest
approval rating is at the top, lowest is at the bottom.
Lowest average approval rating, hmm. Who could it be?
If you would have preferred a tougher step-linking challenge,
check out the Raddle daily
puzzle page. I tried it out and I liked it so far.

It is March and the
lovely EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers
to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "turn".
Oh no! The USA clown President Trump
(egged on by his buffoonish adviser Elon Musk)
needs to appoint cabinet members and agency heads!
He certainly doesn't want to choose based on
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, because that's
liberal code for excluding failsons such as himself.
Instead, he will choose based on merit.
But, to fit the theme of this puzzle, he must give
the meaning of merit a 180-degree turn.
For each dunderhead listed below, choose a job for them
based on their qualifications. Write the four-letter
job code in the blanks. You can see we already
wrote ECON in for Kevin Hassett. When you're done, the
circled letters should spell out another word for "turn".
- EⒸO N :
- Kevin Hassett
He coauthored Dow 36,000, a book which predicted
a 4x rise in the stock market (a year before the market fell 37%).
In early 2020, he predicted coronavirus deaths would be near-zero by May
and thus encouraged the administration to re-open the economy.
- _ _◯_ :
- Linda McMahon
When vetted for the Connecticut Board of Education, she
lied about having a bachelor's degree in education.
- _◯_ _ :
- Sean Duffy
His understanding of climate change
could explain his later elimination of electric vehicle incentives:
"If you say the climate's changing, is it coming from CO2
or is it coming from the sun?" (Must have been a strong
contender for head of NOAA, but that job went to the Sharpiegate
guy, so find another job.)
- ◯_ _ _ :
- Pete Hegseth
Encouraged Trump to pardon soldiers convicted of war crimes.
- _ _ _◯ :
- Robert F Kennedy Jr.
Spread anti-vaccine misinformation and disinformation.
- _◯_ _ :
- Billy Long
During his time representing Southwest Missouri in Congress,
he pursued legislation to abolish the Internal Revenue Service.
Job codes (and full titles)
DEFE : Secretary of Defense
ECON : Director of the National Economic Council
EDUC : Secretary of Educaction
HEAL : Secretary of Health and Human Services
REVE : Commisioner of Internal Revenue
TRAN : Secretary of Transportation
Hints:
- I guess you could Google these people, but I bet you can figure
it out by reading their qualifications.

It is March and the
lovely EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers
to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "trap".
Oh no! The USA clown President Trump (egged on by his buffoonish adviser Elon Musk)
said he was doing his part to help the economy by imposing
tarriffs, but in fact fell into a trap. Now investors have
figured out that the economy is trashed and they're
selling off stock in American companies.
Kind of interesting how trap and part are
spelled backwards-ly.
Anyhow, solve this puzzle and the circled letters will tell you
a word for someone who does things backwards-ly from what he said.

It is once again March and the
lovely EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers
to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "heart".
Oh no! The USA clown President Trump and his buffoonish adviser Elon Musk
have canceled hundreds of contracts while accomplishing nothing!
Alas, they have disrupted government operations, breaking many things.
Below are clues for many broken things, specifically broken seven-letter
words. Each word was broken in half. We gathered up the left-halves and
the right-halves. Whoopsie, we lost the middles, the "hearts," as it were. Using the clues, can you figure
out the broken words? You can see how we figured out "Madison" from mad and
son.
Some might think Trump and Musk are heartless, but when you've figured
out the words' missing hearts, you'll find another adjective.

It is March and the
lovely EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers
to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "psychic".
Oh no! The USA clown President Trump and his buffoonish adviser Elon Musk
don't understand gender and
it's led to a bizarre pronoun-phobia!
Pronouns are handy referential-ish words; it's hard to communicate clearly without them.
The first word of the US Consititution is a pronoun.
(Then again, those guys do their best to ignore the Constitution…)
They removed the pronouns from several words and names below.
Fortunately, we kept track of the pronouns, so now we can add them back in.
We figured
out that MAPSYCHCGRL was really Mai the Psychic Girl.
Can you fill in the others to restore clear communication?
When you're done, the circled letters should spell out
a referential-ish word, itself made up of four pronouns.
1980s manga | MAPSYCHCGRL | he, i, i, it | MⒶi t h e p s y c h i c g i r l |

It is March and the
lovely EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers
to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "staff".
Oh no! The USA clown President Trump and his buffoonish adviser Elon Musk
are halting
a huge-yet-arbitrary chunk of research at the NSF,
NIH, and possibly
other science agencies I overlooked!
Alas, our puzzly chemists' supplies were disrupted. They tried to make some words,
but each word is missing two chemical symbols. For example, they tried to make
"staffers", but were missing flourine (F) and iron (Fe), so they got
staFFers = stars. Can you reconstruct the other words they were trying to make?
Each is missing two symbols. Despite what you might think from that "staffers" example,
the symbols might not be right next to each other.
When you're done, the circled letters should spell out the general
character of the disruption.

It is once again March and the
lovely EnigMarch people have challenged puzzle designers
to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "flow".
Oh no! The USA clown President Trump and his buffoonish adviser Elon Musk
fired hundreds of people at the NOAA, the USA's weather prediction agency!
We can expect billions of dollars in damage to transportation and other sectors
that rely on weather. We can see the effects already below. E.g. That "heat
flow" has a problem: it contains letters from "waft" but should have
letters from "wind". So we cross out the letters W, A, F, T from heat flow to get
H E L O. Then we add the letters W I N D to the right places HELO
to get Whieldon, as in the influential pottery-maker Thomas Whieldon.
(Gee, that's kind of obscure, like a puzzle designer was pretty desperate
to shoehorn "flow" into this puzzle somehow. Let's hope the rest of the answers are easier!)
No doubt that "Thomas _____" is the clue that points to Wieldon, so write it into
the top set of blanks. Now do that for the rest of the entries.
When you're done, the circled letters should spell out the root of the problem (and dare we hope its solution?).
