Puzzle Description:
Based on the Game Show, "Chain Reaction," This puzzle is a series of words. Your job is to get from "Motor" to "Loop" by a series of two words that make a phrase. For example, a different chain might go, "bad-feeling; feeling-blue; blue-moon; moon-cycle." Need help getting started? Ask for a letter.

Yay, a meta-puzzle! But I haven't gotten the chain done yet ...#2: Belita (belita) on May 8, 2020 [SPOILER]
Do the word lengths correspond to the lengths of the colored blocks? I've got a good start of a chain, but I can't think of a word to go with LOOP. I'll probably do a head slap when I find it.#3: Lauren Wilkinson (Lauren) on May 8, 2020
Yes, the word lengths do correspond with the lengths of the blocks. Every white space within in the blocks represents one letter.#4: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on May 8, 2020 [HINT]

Good guess Philip, Bike is correct. The first letter under Bike is "R."#8: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on May 9, 2020 [SPOILER]
motor - bike - race - car - part - time - loop#9: BlackCat (BlackCat) on May 9, 2020
Sounds interesting, but I never do well with those kinds of puzzles, Fun solve though.#10: Lauren Wilkinson (Lauren) on May 9, 2020 [SPOILER]
Close Joe, the only ones that are wrong are "part" and "time". The first letter below "car" is "s."#11: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on May 10, 2020
Joe's seems correct. Can there be more than one correct answer?#12: Lauren Wilkinson (Lauren) on May 10, 2020
Sure, he wrote a different chain than what I had in mind, but his works well too.#13: Phyllis Schimke (PhyS) on May 11, 2020 [SPOILER]
motor - bike - race - car - seat - belt - loop#14: Lauren Wilkinson (Lauren) on May 11, 2020 [SPOILER]
