Sunday Puzzle: Just Add 'Y'

By Will Shortz
Published April 23, 2005 at 9:00 PM MST

NPR's Puzzlemaster Will Shortz quizzes a listener on words that can be transformed by adding a "y" to the end to create a made-up two-word phrase. And he has a challenge for everyone at home. This week's winner is John Robinson from Iowa City, Iowa. He listens on member station KSUI in Iowa City.
