Group the 44 three- and four-letter strings below into 16 sets in such a way that each set spells out a one-word proper name that will correctly replace one of the 16 red one-digit numbers in the sentences (a–f) that follow. Letters within strings will not be rearranged, and none of the letter strings will be left over.
Each number that is to be replaced indicates the position of a letter within its answer word. The indicated letters, read in order, spell out three common English words that are the answer to the contest.
a. What’s known as Inuinnaqtun in 5 is called 3 in 8.
b. According to some sources, the same infamous bounty hunter tracked 7 7 in 21 BBY and went after both 7 and Wat Tambor in 19 BBY.
c. Stacy 1 and Virada 5 have competed in many of the same events.
d. 1 is the great ash tree that joins the nine worlds of Norse cosmology.
e. 3 7 found 2 in the country ruled by the 8.
f. Milla 6 played 5 7.
