Quoth Hamlet, “Words, words, words.” Welcome to more word-wielding wonder – more Inky Pinky, plus a new game.
So to refresh, here are the rules for Inky Pinky:
An “ink pink” is a set of one-syllable words that rhyme, like “fat cat.”
An “inky pinky” is a set of two-syllable words that rhyme, like “copper topper.”
And “inkity pinkity” is for three-syllables, like “pollution solution.”
So, here’s how the game works: Give a clue, and say wether the answer is an “ink pink” “inky pinky” or “inkity pinkity.”
Example: What’s an inky pinky for a shishkabobbed waiter?
Answer: Skewered steward.
Another example: What’s an ink pink for trouble with one’s bride?
Answer: Wife strife.
And another: What’s an inkity pinkity for lying under oath about an operation?
Answer: Surgery perjury.
And here’s a slightly more challenging game: Homograph Pairs. Homographs are words that are written the same way, but are pronounced differently (and usually mean completely different things).
Here’s an example hint:
What’s an HP for Eastern European manicure liquid?
Answer: Polish polish
Another: What’s an HP for a non-qualifying sick person?
Answer: Invalid invalid.
Okay, have at it! Remember: If you’re doing an Inky Pinky, make sure the hint states how many syllables. If you’re doing Homograph Pairs, be sure to write HP.
