The Enigma

November, 2021

NEWROW

In this type of puzzle, a two-letter U.S. state abbreviation in a word is replaced by the abbreviation of a different state. The two letter abbreviation may occur anywhere in the word.

Examples: CANTER - WINTER

                  PROVIDE - PROVOKE

                  SPA - SKY

Many people in _ _ _ _ _ 

Build  _ - _ _ _ _ frame houses,

So the snow will slide off the roof.

 

Answers:

 

MAINE

A-LINE - - - MA becomes AL (Massachusetts - Alabama)

 

That both states have IN (Indiana) inside their names and that both end in NE (Nebraska) is interesting, but co-incidental to the puzzle.
