3 questions, each with multiple parts, which are labeled with a letter. Each word contains two missing letters, as indicated by a _. These missing letters have significance in pairs in the order I have them, so the first two blanks go together, the second two blanks go together, etc. Once you figure out all the missing letters from each group you will anagram them to find a new word. All 3 questions final word is related.

1. a) _ _cation b) _ _genuity c) chlori_ _

2. a) _l_morous b) _ec_pe

3. a) _oqu_cious b) _annequ_n

So to recap because I don't know if it's very clear. For all questions, fill in the missing letters to create words. Use the total number of letters missing (so for question 1 you will use 6 letters) to create another word. The final words from questions 1, 2 and 3 are related somehow.

Tell me how each pair of missing letters is related to each other. Also, how are the final words related to each other?

ga ri = ?

la mi = mail

The missing letters are all US State abbreviations: VA= Virginia, IN= Indiana, DE= Delaware.

Not sure how the three words relate to each other though.

[DudleyDude]

the missing letters are state abbreviations.

1) VA + IN + NE = Vienna

2) GA + RI = Riga

3) LA + MI = Lima

All the final words are world capitals (Vienna, Austria; Riga, Latvia; Lima, Peru)

Terri, very nice figuring out the state abbreviations.

Dudley, great job figuring out the whole thing.
