NPR Sunday Puzzle from yesterday is available on my ESL blog! Have fun playing with these alphabet letters and categories!

I'm going to name something — like a state, state capital, flower, etc. You name something else in the same category as my thing that has the same number of letters as mine ... and that starts and ends with the same letters as mine.

Example: Augusta --> ATLANTA [both state capitals, both 7 letters long, both start and end in "A"]
