Blaine’s Puzzle Blog: NPR Sunday Puzzle (Apr 5, 2026): Musical Cars

Q: Think of a musical instrument. Add two letters at the end, and you’ll get the names of two popular automobile models reading left to right. What musical instrument is this?

It’s not a Ford Tempo or Hyundai Sonata. Maybe I’m not smart enough to figure this out this week?

Edit: I was hinting at the added letters, IQ.

A: ACCORDION –> (Honda) ACCORD, (Hyundai) IONIQ
