Here's a great
Here's a great puzzler from Cartalk (the radio show) I'm going to give you a series of words. You have to find out which comes next. It will be pretty easy when you see them all typed out at once, so I'll give them to you in the middle of this text. If you get stuck, write them down in front of you. The first word is bugles, the second unrest, the third grotto, the fourth letter, the fifth esteem. What is the sixth word?

Hm... I have an idea of the pattern, but nothing certain. I'll have to write it out *writes*. Sorry, I just can't get it.

Try writing it like a grocery list. That's the only hint you'll get from me, for now. But I can't believe no one else tried it.

*writes like a grocery list* I get it now! Thanks.
Should I say the answer, since no one else is guessing, or wait, in case someone new tries?

I get it! I did have to write them in a list.

No, don't say it. Cool puzzler, though, isn't it? I want to try to make my own.

ooh cool! Don't say the answer? But I want to yell it to the world: *****!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I am just so proud of myself. I'm going to go tell someone else now. * scurries away to tell someone else*

I don't understand. Love CarTalk, though! :)

Is it supposed to be a Y, an S, or a space on the end of the last word?

I don't know - there's no way to tell, really. Probably a Y or an S, but I don't know which. I'll have to listen to Cartalk to find out. :D
