Fill in the Blanks: Going Up, Anyone?
In this week's on-air puzzle, you are given two sentences. Each sentence has two blanks. A word starting with "UP" goes in the first blank. Move the "UP" to the end, and you'll get a familiar two-word phrase that goes in the second blank to complete the sentence.
For example: "These are important principles to ___________ , so don't __________ the march of progress."
The answer would be: "These are important principles to "UPHOLD", so don't "HOLD UP the march of progress."
Challenge from Last Week:
The challenge came from Leonette Morrison of Marin County, Calif. Think of a seven-letter word meaning "entrance." Switch the second and fourth letters and you'll get another seven-letter word meaning "exit." What words are these?
The answer: Gateway and Getaway
The winner: Erin Gray of Eugene, Ore.
Next Week's Challenge: Think of a well-known person on TV who has eight letters in their first name and four letters in their last. The last name consists of: consonant, vowel, consonant, consonant. If you change the vowel in the last name to an "a," the result will be a word that is defined by the first name.
