Questions & Answers about O jogador astuto solucionou a charada sem dicas.
I usually use resolver for 'to solve'. Is there a difference between resolver and solucionar here?
Since we are learning irregular absolute superlatives, does astuto have a special form like ótimo or péssimo to mean 'extremely clever'?
No, astuto does not have an irregular form. Irregular absolute superlatives belong to specific root adjectives (like bom becoming ótimo, or mau becoming péssimo). To say this player was extremely clever, you would just use the regular absolute superlative suffix and say he was astutíssimo.
Is charada the only word for 'riddle'? Could I use enigma?
You can use enigma, but they have slightly different flavors. A charada is typically a word puzzle, a specific riddle, or a guessing game. An enigma is a broader mystery or something deeply puzzling. For a literal game involving hints (dicas), charada is the most natural choice.
Could I place the adjective before the noun and say instead?
