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.
| ANSWER | NATO LETTER | FLAVOR TEXT |
| HOLE IN ONE | GOLF | Better to take five minutes to check your work than an hour arguing over points. |
| REPEAT | ECHO | There’s what’s being said, and how it’s being said. Of the two, I prefer the latter. |
| FIRST PRIZE | VICTOR | I’ve been playing games with my pen pal. X went first on each one of these boards. |
| YOGI BERRA | YANKEE | “Four score and…” – Oh wait, it’s a different quote. |
| BOLOGNA | OSCAR (My bologna has a first name…) | It’s six of one and half a dozen of the other. |
| PJ MASKS | ROMEO (Villain from the show) | Each of these answers has three parts. |
| NILE | DELTA | These words were supposed to be in eight groups, but they got all scrambled up! |
| MUPPET | OSCAR | On Christmas Eve, Scrooge was visited by the ghosts who sailed the seven seas. |
Observant solvers will note that each of these flavor texts has exactly one number between one and eight included. Using these numbers to order the NATO letters gives the solution VERY GOOD.
