Today’s NPR Sunday Puzzle
“Name a six-letter animal, shift the second letter forward in the alphabet one letter, read the resulting word backward to get the name of a major American city.”
I solved this one in about 3 minutes of desultory typing. It was much easier for me to think of six-letter cities than six-letter animals. But then I’ve always done better “working backwards” on puzzles and things like mazes. Does that mean I’m goal-directed? Or is it just that I like to know the answer first? 
Hint: “major American city” is a subjective term. It is a medium-sized city you have probably heard of, especially if you’ve ever watched M*A*S*H.
My solution is below the fold. Sorry RSS readers, you’ll have to avert your eyes!
