* Before & After: MOM AND POP QUIZ * Food & Drink: YUMMY PIZZA * Food & Drink: YUMMY YAMS * Fun & Games: UNO AND SKIP-BO * Person: WACKY COUSIN * Phrase: I LOVE KUMQUATS * Rhyme Time: QUIZ WHIZ (could also be Person) * Same Name: POP AND PUB QUIZ * Thing: QUICK QUIZ The below are, I think, far less likely to be used. Admittedly, when I saw the thread title I was like "Sounds like a great opportunity to be silly.  " * Around the House: YOUR BIG MOMMA (okay, not exactly the same meaning, but come on the joke was right there) * Character: CHRISSIE MACOCKENSHIPIEL * Event: DROPPING TROU * Show Biz: REJECTED SITCOM SCRIPTS * Song Lyrics: I'MMA BE * Song Title: BABY GOT BACK * The 80's: QUIZZARD (six-player buzz-in device, probably most recognizable as the centerpiece of the Sale of the Century home games; could also be Fun & Games) * Thing: HARRY FRIEDMAN'S WALLET * TV Quote: BOWL (from a particularly annoying episode of How I Met Your Mother) * TV Title: V (...though on the other hand single-letter puzzles are by far the easiest Bonus Rounds) * What Are You Doing?: CRAPPING * What Are You Wearing?: NOTHING AT ALL People: QUIDDITCH CHAMPIONS I'd argue that as Characters, unless we have flying broomsticks and nobody told me. |

What Are You Wearing?: NOTHING AT ALL That wouldn't ever work. That has too much RSTLNE. MY BIRTHDAY SUIT, on the other hand... Here's my guesses, one easy and one hard for each category. AROUND THE HOUSE: DIAL UP MODEM/ GLOSSY PIANO CHARACTER(S): QUIET HERO/ PIKACHU & CHARIZARD (Shut up about punctuation. DxxA call would be a bit of help here. Or switch CHARIZARD with JIGGLYPUFF, and then I don't care.) EVENT: SHOWDOWN AT HIGH NOON/ QUICK SALE/MY DAY OFF FOOD AND DRINK: WHEAT GERM/ GRAINY QUINOA (Want it harder? Just add YUMMY!) IN THE KITCHEN: GYRO MACHINE/FIRE HAZARD SIGN LIVING THING: DOMESTICATED BIRD/ (insert adjective here) FOX(ES) OCCUPATION: HEAD MANAGER/YOUTUBE PRODUCER ON THE MAP: IRVINE AND CHULA VISTA/ BUFFALO AND ALBANY PEOPLE: JAZZ QUINTET/FANCY LADIES PERSON: BORING DUDE/GUY /YOUNG LAD PHRASE: REGULAR AS CLOCKWORK/ GOING FOR GOLD/ YOU WON A PRIZE (Just as much effort as any trip puzzle anyways) PLACE: HIGHWAY SHOULDER/ BUSY/CROWDED SUBWAY SHOW BIZ: Literally anything with JAZZ, BUZZFEED LEAK/ FOURTH ACT THING: (Insert adjective with at most 1 RSTLNE) + (Insert longer noun with at most 3 RSTLNE) WAYD?: GIVING UP/ TAKING A QUICK JOG WAYW?: GOLD CHAIN/ DAZZLING SAPPHIRES |

Or FUZZY LOOKS? Also, if IRVINE AND CHULA VISTA was a BR PUZZLE, I’d get that one immediately since a couple of my closest cousins live in these two cities (even though some moved from Chula Vista to Imperial Beach, but I wouldn’t care anyway). |

PLACE: HIGHWAY SHOULDER/ BUSY/CROWDED SUBWAY CROWDED SUBWAY was done in 2011, though they categorized it as Thing instead of Place, and it was even a $100K loss. |

Forget KIT FOXES.
KIT FOX might be the best less than 7 letter puzzle the show could actually use!

If they were willing to bring back Quotation for the absolutely evil JACK BE QUICK, why not again for FUZZY WUZZY WAS A BEAR?
I would actually like to see FUZZY WUZZY WAS A BEAR FUZZY WUZZY HAD NO HAIR in the main game, just to hear Pat's shock over a puzzle having eight Z's in it.

Wrong adjective, but same difficult letter...  Sorry for beheading you, Vanna, but I wanted to capture before the contestant window came up and you were in the way of the first R! |

Here's a batch I've made:
ALGAL BLOOM (Event)
IPSWICH CLAM (Food & Drink)
DRY DOCK (Place)
CLOUDY OLYMPIA (On the Map)
SIOUX CITY IOWA (On The Map)
CUPID AND VIXEN (Characters)
CHUNKY KID (Person)
BRICK FURNACE (Around the House)
SLOW JAM (Show Biz)
Plus a bunch of Proper Names that would be perfect for the show, but they'll probably never use.

MORNING ZOO RADIO would be a good Show Biz puzzle. Also on that note, SHOCK JOCK for a Rhyme Time.
