It's not a drill, and it's not a mistake: it's a new Ouerdplait Mini! I'm sure I've mentioned this on a previous show, but my favorite holiday by far is Halloween, and now that it's finally October, it seemed like a good time to release this little puzzle I wrote a FULL YEAR ago. It's called “Bootiful.” Every response in this game is a single word that ends with the “boo” sound. (Featuring music by Landon Beall, Mark Sparling, Broke For Free, and Nheap.)

The puzzle I'm serving up for you today was printed on some cards I handed out at Ouerdplait's live show in February, so until now, the only folks who have seen this puzzle were the ones who showed up to that live show. It ain't much, but it's something. Each correct answer in this game will be a single word with the letters “C-O-N” in consecutive order. (Featuring music by Landon Beall, Mark Sparling, Broke For Free, and Nheap.)

This is the last puzzle from our live show in February, and goodness, it's a doozy. How many Star Wars character names do you know? That's most of the challenge in this one, honestly. In this game, I'll give you a clue to help you think of a classic Star Wars character name, and I'll give you a hint about what the character's new name might be if one letter is changed. All I want to know is what the character's new name would be once that letter has changed. (Featuring music by Landon Beall, Mark Sparling, and Nheap.)

And now that we've had our Marvel round, it seems only fitting that we offset that with a round devoted to DC Comics, specifically… The Batman. You guys? Keep this on the down-low, but I think… I think Bruce Wayne? He might be the guy. Ssh. I know. I KNOW! I mean, he's rich, he's been around the world, his parents were tragically killed all those years ago, so there's motive… I think I might really be onto something here. In fact, I've got Mr. Wayne's bank statements from the last 20 years to prove it. I swear, I'm not crazy! So in this exposé, I'll name something Bruce has had charged to his bank account over the past few years, but I've been staring at these papers so much over the past six weeks that I might need a little help remembering the exact word for what I'm trying to name. Every correct answer here will be a single word that contains the consecutive letters B-A-T. That's conclusive proof! (Featuring music by Landon Beall, Broke for Free, Mark Sparling, and Cosmo Cub.)

Seems like wherever you go nowadays you just can't escape the presence of Marvel! From the X-Men and Avengers to the Guardians of the Galaxy, they're just… everywhere! In this puzzle, we'll be doing some Marvel Math Mashups. I'll start by giving you a clue involving a Marvel character and some other piece of pop culture that will share a common word. Your job will be to successfully mash up the two bits into one answer. (Featuring music by Landon Beall, Nheap, and Mark Sparling.)
