They say there are two sides to every good and evil. Heroes and villains on Disney cruise line. Mischief and magic collide and you don't have to decide where your allegiances lie. Run with the villains, but do the occasional good deed. Or hang with the heroes but dip your toe into the dark side.

Smart. Bless me. So yesterday I decided to expand my vocabulary. So I did what anyone would do. I ate a dictionary. But it really didn't agree with me. And ever since then, I've been belching out three letter words. I'm pretty sure these words all have something in common that's upsetting my tummy, but I cannot figure out what it is. So can you tell me what characteristic these three letter words all share? And those words are Den, sea, sea, can, mad, sin, lax, and bog. Again, these are the words that I've been burping up. Den. See? Can, mad, sin, lax, and bog. Let's find out my dictionary diagnosis on today's episode of Clueless. Clueless. Clueless. I'm clueless. Welcome to Smartless Presents. Clueless, the puzzle podcast you like at the price you love. I'm your host, Elliot Kaelin, and I insist on paying a lot for this muffler. Today we are joined by the co hosts of the Smartless podcast. I need you guys. That's right, it is. Max Silvestri and Gabe Leadman. Max, Gabe, do you know the answer to this episode's opening question? What characteristic is shared by the three letter words den, sea, S, E, A, can, mad, sin, lax, and bog?

And it's making you ill, huh?
B (2:04)
It is making me ill, though. That's more. That's more. A little bit of a. Oh, that doesn't have to do with it. No, that's not necessarily a place.
D (2:09)
I think I have it, Gabe.
C (2:11)
Okay, go for it.
D (2:13)
I believe that these are all airport codes.
B (2:16)
You're exactly right. These are all three lettered IATA airport codes for major airports. Excellent work. Sometimes. Sometimes when we do a word game, it's not about what the words mean. It's about some other thing about them. And you figured it out. Exactly. Right now all of those airport codes are on the list of the 50 busiest airports in the world based on human passenger traffic, as opposed to based on walrus cargo traffic, which would be a different list of airports. Can you identify the city or the name of the airport for each one? I'm going to go through them. I want you to try to tell Me what these airports are. Okay. I'm going to try to go from easiest to hardest. Or from hardest to easiest, depending on where you live. The first word, lax.
