Sample cards:
The name of what U.S. state capital, when uncapitalized, becomes a phrase that could mean a small amount of Elvis Presley’s music?
Take the name of something commonly worn on the upper half of the body. Change the second letter from R to O and you’ll name something else commonly worn on the upper half of the body. Name these two things.
