Problem
Each pair of clues is answered by a word or name starting with "sch"
and a word that sounds like it with the "sch" sound dropped; solve the
twelve pairs.
In the on air puzzle, Will gave clues for two words at a time.
The first clue is answered by a word or name that starts with
"sch." The second clue is phonetically the same as the first
word if you drop the "sch" sound. For example, if the clues were
a toy store starting with "F.A.O." and a witch's facial feature,
the answer would be Schwartz and warts.
1. bicycle brand, and to be victorious
2. German Chancellor before Kohl, and a baseball glove
3. one who carries a load, and a person in a colony
4. exaggerated sentimentality, and ice cream drinks
(phonetically the same by Indiana standards)
5. junk, and a security device
6. comedian's routine, and an insect that carries Lyme disease
7. dab, as of cream cheese on a bagel, and a Russian space
station
8. to chat idly, and sounds on dairy farms
9. German poet Frederick, and more sick (slightly diabolical,
according to Liane, Will does this all the time in his
crossword puzzles)
10. a dope and a quiet recess
11. a jerk and a stooge
12. football player Jay, and teamwise what Jay once was in Los
Angeles
