An old children’s game. The answer to each clue is a pair of rhyming words.
Hink Pink- each word in the rhyming pair is one syllable
Hinky Pinky- each word in the rhyming pair is two syllables
Hinkety Pinkety- each word in the rhyming pair is three syllables
Examples:
Hink Pink: a strict plant- stern fern
Hinky Pinky: hand cream made with sea salt- ocean lotion
Hinkety Pinkety: a velocipede left outside in winter- icicle tricycle or icicle bicycle
Hink Pink:
1. A proper hat
2. A modest group
3. To badger a witness
4. Head case
5. Seasonal allergies
6. To stop an earthquake
7. A musty fur
Hinky Pinky:
8. Where pessimists go to get treated
9. An arctic hare’s hat
10. A mangy cat
11. Zeus’ wrath
12. When Zeus’ wrath falls upon the wrong person
Hinkety Pinkety:
13. Crazy about Monet
14. Smart salt
15. Aesop’s fables on a t-shirt
Not quite sure yet how to score it. Not all Hinkety Pinketys are necessarily harder than all Hinky Pinkys, or all Hinky Pinkys harder than all Hink Pinks, etc. So for now, each answer to any one of them is worth 1 point. But I am open to suggestions.
