Tanga Puzzles: March 26 - April 1

Here are the daily clues for the Tanga puzzles this week. To see the hint, highlight the space to the right of the date.

I don't give away answers here, just a small hint each day to help get you started or past a rough patch. If you want stronger hints, you can check the blog on the Tanga site itself, which is chock full of spoilers.

While I avoid giving away the answers on this page, be warned that there may be spoilers in the comments to this post, so open those with care.

Good luck!

March 26: I guessed the answer based on one word that struck me as a bit awkward. If anyone wants to guide me on the backsolving, please leave comments.

March 27: Another one I had to guess. My only hint is that you're looking for chemical elements. Oh, and the answer is a pun, similar to what we saw on 3/2. Beyond that, I haven't a clue how this one worked.

March 28: The title anagrams to two words. On the last step, you need to repeat your thinking.

March 29: If you can find the car names, you will quickly zone in on the theme. You may need to look back a bit for some of the clues. If you get this in under 20 minutes, I give you my regards.

March 30: Pretty easy if you're economical.

March 31: Sorry, I was away yesterday. The best clue for this puzzle is in the title. Actually, there are two clues there.

April 1: I'm glad I was paying attention today, or this might have gone right past me.

SPOILER:

Take the words for each number, and then the numbered letter of each word. When the number's name isn't long enough, recycle. So tWo, thRee, One, ninenineN, eighteiG.

Thanks Jon. I never would have come up with that on my own... my brain just would not go there. I saw the word that is a synonym to the answer, and it sounded awkward. I thought, "I would have said X instead." Then I tried X and it worked.

New to me, at least: If you visit a puzzle after its deadline has expired, an annotated solution is available.

I always forget to check that, but this week I remembered because Monday and Tuesday puzzles had me so annoyed.
