Frank Paul's wordplay wizardry is back in action, and this time he's challenging readers to solve three more clever puzzles.
First up is a pair of words where each answer has been modified by swapping three consecutive consonants with three consecutive vowels. This puzzle tests the solver's knowledge of word patterns and their ability to spot subtle changes. For example, "in a gentle way" becomes "mildly," while "social environment" morphs into "milieu."
The next challenge involves finding three words that have been manipulated by removing the first and last letter from each word, revealing new words in the process. This puzzle requires solvers to think creatively about language and pattern recognition.
Lastly, Frank Paul presents a word loop where the answer is formed by connecting individual words together. The example provided illustrates how "hold forth" can be linked to "forthwith" and then "withhold." Solvers must identify an AB, BC, CA sequence that fits the clues given.
The final puzzle appears to involve finding three hidden numbers in a piece of text, but be warned: it's not as straightforward as it seems. After all, Frank Paul is notorious for his clever wordplay.
Until next time, when we'll return with more puzzles and solutions, we invite readers to submit their favorite wordplay challenges for consideration.

I love how Frank Paul's puzzles challenge us to think outside the box about language patterns. The way he swaps consonants and vowels to create new words is pure magic 
, and that first puzzle has me thinking... "in a gentle way" becomes "mildly", but what if we swap those three consonants in another direction? 
I'm intrigued by how Frank Paul uses that AB, BC, CA sequence to create an answer that seems deceptively simple.
I'm thinking of submitting my own wordplay challenge next time, maybe something with a clever anagram or two.
. can't just take his word for it (literally) without verifying the solution process first. and what's with the different types of puzzles? seems like a lot to handle in one sitting 
. need more info on how these puzzles are supposed to work before I give them a shot 
.
. the word loop one is particularly mind-blowing 
, i mean who knew "hold forth" could lead to "forthwith" and then "withhold"? that's some serious linguistic wizardry 
omg i love word puzzles!!! 
i mean who doesn't love a good brain teaser? 
can't wait to try solving the others... or maybe just get some coffee first 
️
I mean, don't get me wrong, it's cool that Frank Paul is still at it, but can't we just play Fortnite or something instead?
can u pls share ur favorite wordplay challenges or puzzles u've solved in the past cuz i wanna see them 
. What I find fascinating is how wordplay puzzles require you to think creatively about patterns and connections – it's like solving a puzzle within a puzzle 
. Can't wait to see more of these wordplay wizardry challenges in the future! 
- who doesn't love a good word puzzle? 
what a mind blow puzzle 1 is so clever, i love how it tests your knowledge of word patterns... i think the example with "in a gentle way" becoming "mildly" is genius, but also kinda scary because it sounds so easy once you know it's supposed to be that way lol. what do u guys think about this final puzzle tho? seems kinda fishy
. I mean, I love a good brain twister as much as the next person, but come on, three consecutive consonants with three consecutive vowels? That's just too easy 
.
But what if it's not? What if we need to look at the text from a different angle, see it as more than just words on a page? That's the fun of it, I suppose... or is it? 
. The first one was a breeze once I spotted the pattern with "in a gentle way" becoming "mildly". But the second one, where you have to remove letters from words... that's a bit more tricky 
.
! Can't wait to see how Frank Paul solves it... or at least try to understand how he's doing it
