THE LETTER SHUFFLE
Since this weekend is the opening of the 2011 baseball season here in America, how many new words can you make out of the letters in the traditional phrase that starts every game: "PLAY BALL!" (punctuation not included)

We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's peek into THE ANSWERS BOX and the discover the results of March 26's Puzzle Corner.

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
The letter changes to form the new words are
Rise to rOse
Lilt to lilY
Patsy to paNsy, and
Ires to irIs, with all the new words being flowers.

TRIVIA TIME
So how just how many children did the Cunningham family have on the sitcom Happy Days?
I received a lot of e-mails saying two.
But while Richie and Joanie were throughout the entire series, the Cunninghams did have an older son named Charles (aka Chuck) who was sporadically shown at college during the first two seasons of the show, but then mysteriously disappeared by the beginning of season three and was never heard from or about again.
Those who said three but included Fonzie are wrong, for while the character did fulfill the friend/big brother role that the absent Charles had before Henry Winkler's character got popular, the Cunninghams were only Fonzie's godparents at his (very belated) christening.
