City WNW of Tulsa
Answer:
ENID
Hint:
["This Oklahoma city is home to Vance Air Force Base and lies along historic Route 66."]
Explanation:
This clue points to a city located west-northwest (WNW) of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Enid is the correct answer because it fits both the direction and the fact that it’s a well-known city in that area. The abbreviation "WNW" is a compass direction, so no wordplay is involved—just straightforward geography.
