BUT THATS NONE OF MY BUSINESS BLANK MOVIE

Who is it? So again, the first name of a famous movie director - write it in upper and lowercase letters. Take the first name of a famous movie director, write it in upper and lower case letters, rotate the third letter of this name 180 degrees and you'll get the name of the main character in one of this director's most popular movies. SHORTZ: Yes, it comes from listener Peter Gwinn, who writes for Wait Wait. RASCOE: All right, Will, what's next week's challenge? RASCOE: That's Jean Kendrick of Salem, Ore. KENDRICK: I listen to KOPB out of Portland, Ore. And Jean, what member station do you listen to? You can read all about it at npr.org/puzzle. For playing our puzzle today, you'll get a WEEKEND EDITION lapel pin as well as puzzle books and games. KENDRICK: Oh, relieved that it wasn't, you know, Monaco and Morocco. KENDRICK: Thank you for your help, though, on that nook and cranny. And I loved your delivery on the answers (laughter). And here's your last one - hike, H-I-K-E, and seed, S-E-E-D. KENDRICK: Sure and dimple - pure and simple. Try this one - sure, S-U-R-E, and dimple, D-I-M-P-L-E. SHORTZ: Noon, N-O-O-N, and cranky, C-R-A-N-K-Y. KENDRICK: Well, you know, Will, I'm not one to kiss and tell. KENDRICK: Another money one - I think this one's dollars and cents. Collars, C-O-L-L-A-R-S, and dents, D-E-N-T-S. KENDRICK: Not something in time, is it? No. KENDRICK: Change the - oh, how about crash and burn?

SHORTZ: And here's your hint - change the vowels. Crush, C-R-U-S-H, and barn, B-A-R-N - crush and barn. Number one is loft, L-O-F-T, and sound, S-O-U-N-D. For example, if I said shot and well, you would say show and tell because show and tell changes one letter in each of the words shot and well. Every answer today is a familiar phrase in the form blank and blank in which I've changed one letter of each of the words in the blanks. SHORTZ: All right, Jean and Ayesha, you're in luck. RASCOE: Me too - I'm not good with that either. KENDRICK: As long as it's not geography, boy, I sure hope so. So, all right, Jean, then - are you ready to play the puzzle?

RASCOE: Well, see, and that's why you're here and he is not right now (laughter). And he was still sitting there scratching his head. And in this case, I was able to solve it completely on my own. RASCOE: Oh, and I hear that your husband actually won a couple of years ago, so it has been a strong marital rivalry here. KENDRICK: So my boyfriend at the time got me really hooked on the puzzle, and we'd play together, and that man is now my husband. RASCOE: And so how long have you been playing the puzzle? JEAN KENDRICK: Thank you for having me, Ayesha and Will. And out of those submissions, Jean Kendrick of Salem, Ore., is this week's winner. Well, but overall, everybody did an amazing job with this week's puzzle because there were nearly 1,300 correct submissions. The correct answer was racetrack, which has C-A-R spelled backward in both words, and a car is found on a racetrack. Unfortunately, the letters of ten are not in the same order in center, so that wasn't quite right. What is it? There was a near answer - tennis center, which has net backward in ten. And if you reverse these three letters, you'll name something seen in this sports facility.

I said, three consecutive letters in the first word also appear consecutively in the same order in the second word. I said, name a sports facility in two words - it's a general term, not a specific place. SHORTZ: Yes, it came from listener Darwin Lange of Mandan, N.D. RASCOE: And so, Will, could you please remind us of last week's challenge? WILL SHORTZ, BYLINE: Good morning, Ayesha. He's puzzle editor of The New York Times and puzzle master of WEEKEND EDITION. RASCOE: Joining us, as always, is Will Shortz. And it may be a beautiful summer day wherever you are, but don't go outside just yet because it's time to play the puzzle.
