Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I used the word PARA as an example for the first two Inside Edition Quizzes. PARA is Arkansas (AR) inside Pennsylvania (PA) and can preface chute, legal, military and normal, as well as many other words. The first word to figure out this time is a kind of labyrinth; the Minotaur had one on Crete.

Answer: MAZE

The Minotaur had the head of a bull and the body of a man and woe to anyone who wandered into his MAZE, at least until Theseus came along.
MAZE is Arizona (AZ) inside Maine (ME).
2. This describes coyotes and sounds like a good name for one.

Answer: WILY

Wile E. Coyote, along with his nemesis the Road Runner, has to be one of the most recognizable and enjoyable cartoon series ever. Did you know the the "E" is for Ethelbert?
WILY is Illinois (IL) inside Wyoming (WY).
3. The next two words are the names of rivers. This one is known as the longest in the world and flows northward.

Answer: NILE

The NILE river rises in East Africa at Lake Victoria and flows into the Mediterranean Sea in Egypt; it is over 4,100 miles long.
NILE is Illinois (IL) inside Nebraska (NE).
4. This North American river is a tributary of the Colorado and, while not huge, might be called monstrous.

Answer: GILA

The GILA River rises in Mexico and traverses Arizona. The poisonous GILA Monster lizard is named for it.
GILA is Illinois (IL) again, this time inside Georgia (GA).
5. Oldtimers may associate this word with a fancy milkshake, younger ones with beer.

Answer: MALT

A delicious beverage available at your local ice cream parlor or fountain (another word for us mature types) was a malted milk or MALT, using a powder of malted grains for extra flavor and costing a little more than a straight milkshake. Today's MALT Liquors are usually somewhat stronger in flavor than regular beer.
MALT is Alabama (AL) inside Montana (MT).
6. This word is used often in crossword puzzles and is the coating or fleshy covering of a seed.

Answer: ARIL

Cruceverbalists like ARIL for squeezing into tight spots. In seed formation, it can come from the placenta, the funicle or the hilum.
ARIL is Rhode Island (RI) inside Alabama (AL).
7. This representative word is used in the widely separated worlds of Orthodox or Eastern religion and computer graphics.

Answer: ICON

ICON is Colorado (CO) inside Indiana (IN).
8. This equine isn't really a messy housekeeper.

Answer: MARE

The term "mare's-nest" doesn't come from anything made by a female horse, but from the fact that such a nest is an illusion, hence the terms means just that: "an illusory discovery." Unfairly to the poor MARE, recent usage is more along the lines of untidy and confused.
MARE is Arkansas (AR) inside Maine (ME).
9. This reddish-brown gemstone, silicon dioxide (SiO2) or chalcedony, is often used in cameos. The darkest brown form sounds like it may be tightly packed.

Answer: SARD

SARD is also known as sardonyx and the dark brown form as sardine (sardoine).
SARD is Arkansas (AR) inside South Dakota (SD), a tough abbreviation to use in these quizzes.
10. Lastly, another word for those of us with long memories. It is the distance that might be walked for a dromedary.

Answer: MILE

Can you imagine the number of possible clues for the word MILE?
In this case, it comes from the famous old advertising slogan: "I'd walk a MILE for a Camel," originally a regular size, unfiltered cigarette, with a dromedary camel, and a few pyramids, on the label.
MILE is Illinois (IL) inside Maine (ME).
I'd like to thank my neighbor Carol for discovering many of the words that I had missed.
One more quiz to come.
