Sunday Word Puzzle from NPR (aired today, January 10, 2021)

 Today, I've brought a game of Categories based on the word FIRST. For each category I give, name something in it starting with each of the letters F-I-R-S-T. Any answer that works is OK, and you can give the answers in any order.

 

Example: If the category were "Girl's Names," you might say Flo, Iris, Rosa, Sarah and Teresa.

 

1. State capitals

 

2. Parts of the human body

 

3. Terms in mathematics

 

4. Appliances you plug in



Answer Keys

    1.  Frankfort (capital of Kentucky), Indianapolis (capital of Indiana), Richmond (capital of Virginia), Sacramento (capital of California), Tallahassee (capital of Florida)  

    2.  Face, Index finger, Rib, Stomach, Toes

    3.  Factor, Integers, Rhombus, Theorem, Set     

    4. Fan, Iron, Refrigerator, Stove, Thermomix
