This week we're playing a game based on the word "blast." Given a category, name something in the category starting with each letter: B-L-A-S-T.

Every answer today is a rhyming two-word phrase in which each word has two syllables and the first word ends with a doubled consonant plus the letter Y.

Every answer is the name of a popular prime-time TV series from this century, on either broadcast or cable. Identify the shows from their anagrams.

The word cho means "beautiful" in Korean and "butterfly" in Japanese. Every answer is a familiar two-word phrase or name based around "cho."

This week, we've got clues for two words. Add a long A sound at the end of the first word to phonetically get the second one.

Every answer today is a word or name with an accented syllable "pee" — spelled in any way — but always occurring inside the word, never at the start or end.

Every answer this week is a made-up two-word phrase, in which both words start with 'S' and they're anagrams of each other.
