As the title suggests, this puzzle uses the NATO phonetic alphabet. Each of the puzzle answers is a synonym or reference to one of the letters in that alphabet. Additionally, the flavor text of this puzzle suggests that not only are the previous puzzle answers necessary, but the previous flavor texts will provide an ordering.
