Spoiler:

Would "inter" be an alternate solution for one of the clues?

kept typing inhume. Why is it not accepted? Isn't it the most exact analogue?

I always love these. I believe that inter is a stronger answer for the exhume analogy, though.

Thanks. I definitely never would have gotten that, so I don’t feel too bad. I thought they were somehow known attributes of the cities or something.

Tennessee Williams should work for "Adrian is to Sylvester Stallone". Sylvester Stallone wrote Rocky and Tennessee Williams wrote A Streetcar Named Desire. (Sylvester Stallone created Adrian and Tennessee Williams created Stella.)

If you want the answer to be an actor, the analogy would have to be something like "Talia Shire is to Adrian as Vivien Leigh is to Stella".

I hear you but I'm not sure if that's a strong enough link. If the question was about creating characters then the characters' full names would be used.

To avoid ambiguity, I'd personally use Wilson is to Tom Hanks instead.

I know it's annoying not to get to type full words, but 'distil' is standard UK/Commonwealth spelling so you should probably allow it.

Also, it's weird to have "see" as the answer for omniscient - that would be omnivident. I know "know" is a type-in, but surely it's the better (and indeed the only technically correct) answer.

limou and camou threw me for a minute. When limou was to sine, I thought it was a trigonometry term.

Yeah, it threw me too. Frankly, I don't think it really fits the analogy quiz format.

It's just the front part and back part of words.

Limou + sine = limousine, which is a vehicle.

Camou + flage = Camouflage, which means to mask yourself within the surroundings.

It's technically an analogy but simply splitting up 3 syllable words into increments of 2 syllables at the front and 1 syllable at the back isn't a particularly strong link.

Can someone explain the whole Limou/Camou analogy. I don't know what this means and when I search it I find stuff about Limousines and Camouflage.

You’re just combining the start and end to make words. Limou + sine = limousine and Camou + flage = camouflage.

This one was the biggest stretch to me. If the separated "half words" had meanings of their own, it would make more sense - but without that, it feels nonsensical.

Yeah I feel kind of stupid for not getting it while writing it out, but thats also not really an analogy to me. Its just the word endings, they don't really connect in any other way.

It's not an analogy based on meaning, it's a pattern based on first-two/last one syllable in each overall word. It's a poor choice of question for this quiz because it's about pattern recognition rather than the comparative relationships of the terms.

I got the Limou/Camou one right away but it may be easier to not capitalize the 2nd part. I know others are capitalized too but at least those are all existing words.

Did anyone else try Stephen Collins for the Stella question? I thought it was a fair guess on the basis of romantic interest character to co-actor in the same movie (Adrian to Rocky/Stallone and Stella to Stephen Davis/Collins respectively).

Having seen the required answer, suggest that the clue be updated to include "Yo, Adrian!" and "Hey, Stella!". This and the use of quotation marks would make it clearer that these are lines said during particular movies by the corresponding actor.

I saw the Stella clue and could only think of the 1990 movie Stella, rather than Streetcar Named Desire.
