Oh, I thought they were all one syllable, but no.

Just the vowel, then...



What do I win?

Please try again!

I heard that puzzler - TWICE - and didn't remember it.

[NYC_SKP]

15. Don't feel bad, it's the first Puzzler I couldn't solve.

And I was in the car and always meant to find it to work on again.

Last night I went looking for something and stumbled on it and found the solution.
