NPR Sunday Puzzle (Mar 6, 2022): An Awkward Quack
Q: Words starting with a “kw-” sound usually start with the letters QU-, as in question, or “KW-,” as in Kwanzaa. What common, uncapitalized English word starting with a “kw-” sound contains none of the letters Q, U, K, or W?
I fell down and broke my wrist last week so I’m a little slower typing this morning. You don’t have to tell me to be more careful on ladders. As for the puzzle, I have 3 potential answers. Native speakers of a certain language would knock out two of the words leaving only one intended answer with the right sound.
