PUZZLE #48
SMUSH
This one's inspired by an obscure game show from the creators of You Don't Know Jack called Smush (if you're curious, you can watch the first round of an episode here, and apologies in advance for the low sound quality). In that game show (and this puzzle), you take the answers to two clues and combine them to make one smushed-up phrase. For example, if the clue is "Swirly candy on a stick + Frozen treat on a stick", then the answer would be "Lollipopsicle", since that's the smushed-up form of "Lollipop" and "Popsicle". Below are six more smushed-up phrases for you to solve.
Once you've completed the puzzle, the letters that overlap the answers in each smushed-up pair (the ones in the boxes) will spell out this week's FINAL ANSWER: The smushed-up form of two video games in the same genre.
1) Like nice-smelling roses + Creator of A Cleverly-Titled Logic Puzzle Blog (2 wds.)
2) Hero from The Sword in the Stone + Villain from The Little Mermaid
3) Biggest city in France + Biggest city in Turkey
4) Apache chief + Precious Oscar winner
5) Human caretakers + Human chests
6) Energetic and memetic Darude song + Anguish probably caused by playing that song on an endless loop
Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured that one out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a version you can print out!
