This topic has been done on Jeopardy! before. Best to explain with an example. A clue that said "bigger rodent" would be "largerbil" (larger gerbil), so you would write "largerbil" in the blank. Good luck!
As a continuation of the directions, each of two words has at least three letters overlap. I will also let you know which part comes first. From the example, bigger rodent = larger gerbil = largerbil, bigger and larger are in the same position, as are rodent and gerbil (both in the clue and the answer). I will write "switched" in the hint if they are in different spots. For instance, if the clue was "rodent that is bigger" = "larger gerbil" = "largerbil", I would write switched in the hint to let you know that the first part of the clue corresponds to the second part of the answer, and vice-versa. This should make it a little easier. All right, here we go, first question!

This puzzle is said to be very difficult, but not for Boomers.(lol)

-1.A ghostly tusked mammal. 10 letters, switched

-2.A reference book that prescribes medicine for your children. 19

-3.A book of facts, tables, and charts that is misplaced in time. 14

-4.A suave and sophisticated place where planes can take off and land. 12

-5.A gargantuan patch of hair growing below the nose and above the mouth. 13

-6.Digits made from a precious metal. 12, switched

-7.Living in the USA and cranky. 17

8.Energetic and friendly. 11

-9.A section of a book that is part of an extinct group of birds from the Jurassic/Cretaceous periods. 14

-10.False names from the Land Down Under. 12, switched

good puzzle Curly yes


Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
