ANSWERS: Semicircle Sorting 5

It's been nearly two weeks since "Semicircle Sorting 5" was posted on this blog, and about fifteen people have correctly solved it since then, all of whom are listed below:

  • Cindy Heisler
  • Grant Fikes
  • Joe Bernard
  • Chris Kochmanski
  • Kevin Orfield
  • Mike Lebowitz
  • Tyler Hinman
  • Mike Armstrong
  • Steve Gunter
  • Tamara Brenner
  • KeoFam
  • Perry Groot
  • Mom
  • Wendy Walker
  • Lynn Sweeney
Now head below the break for the answers as well as a solver's comment!

[The letters in each set of parentheses represent the letters in each semicircle]

(AYR) + (UNW) = RUNWAY
(EER) + (FEZ) = FREEZE
(EJO) + (RPTC) = PROJECT
(PCA) + (KECU) = CUPCAKE
(LYST) + (RICT) = STRICTLY
(TAMI) + (TLUE) = ULTIMATE

The two words that combine to form the name of a reality competition show spell out PROJECT RUNWAY


Solver Mike Armstrong saw one of the other possible combinations and said "Honestly, the ULTIMATE CUPCAKE would've been a crazy talent for a Danganronpa game" [I've mentioned the Danganronpa video games before in previous puzzles, and in that series, many of the main characters have a special talent that gives them the title of "Ultimate Something-or-Other". I assume the title of "Ultimate Cupcake" makes that person really great at baking and/or decorating cupcakes.]

  1. Now that Mike said that, can you please make a Danganronpa OC with the talent "Ultimate Cupcake Designer"?
