Puzzle answers total 14 U.S. locations

A radio challenge released on Sunday, November 1, 2026, requires listeners to identify 14 specific places in the United States. The format mandates that each answer be a two-word name, with the first letter of the clue matching the first letter of the location. One final answer consists of three words.

The first clue, Northeast Haven, points to a location in that region. Another clue, Pioneers' Pinnacle, suggests a site associated with early settlement. The list includes Storied Fire, Molten Lava, and Oil Capital, which likely reference specific geographic features or economic hubs. Further entries include Lotsa Vacationers, Newlyweds' Favorite, and a location described as Dry (very!).

The challenge also features Hydroelectric Development, Port Honolulu, and Engineered Channel. These clues suggest answers related to infrastructure and specific port cities. The final two-word clue is Health Spa. The 13th and final item, Minnesota's Sizable Population, requires a three-word answer.

The previous week's puzzle asked for two company logos that begin with a lowercase letter and contain a capital B. The correct answers were eBay and jetBlue. Deborah Freedman of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was selected as the winner of that round.

The current challenge asks listeners to identify a brand name found at supermarkets. The solution involves inserting a three-letter body part into a four-letter body part. Submissions are due by Thursday, November 5, at 3 p.m. ET. Participants must include a phone number to be considered for an on-air game.
