The tradition of giving a wooden spoon as an award to a person or team who comes last in a competition began at Cambridge University in England.

An example of the word "last" in a sentence is: "Even though Sally came last in the race, she wasn't upset as she had really enjoyed it".
2. Change one letter to make a word that is something you might take on a shopping trip to remind you of the things you need to buy.

Answer: list

A recipe provides a list of ingredients that you need to make a particular dish.

An example of the word "list" in a sentence is: "Adam forgot to take his list to the supermarket, but luckily he remembered everything that was on it, so didn't have to make a return trip that same day".
3. Change one letter to make a word that means a cloud of water droplets or a light fog.

Answer: mist

Fake mist is often used in movies to make a scene look more scary and threatening.

An example of the word "mist" in a sentence is: "There was a fine mist in the air as Sarah went out for her early morning jog".
4. Change one letter to make a word that is a tall upright post on a boat that holds the sail.

Answer: mast

Some types of boats have more than one mast - for example, a yawl, a ketch, a schooner, and a brig all have two masts.

An example of the word "mast" in a sentence is: "The pirate was told by his captain to climb the mast and stand in the crow's nest so he could look out for enemy ships approaching".
5. Change one letter to make a word that is a popular way of serving potatoes.

Answer: mash

You can make mash by simply breaking down boiled potatoes with a masher or other such implement. Some people add milk and/or butter to make their mash more creamy.

An example of the word "mash" in a sentence is: "Ella likes to have boiled potatoes with her dinner, but her little brother Edward always asks Mummy to make his into mash".
6. Change one letter to make a word that is a network of thread, like that on a fishing net.

Answer: mesh

The fine mesh on a fishing net allows water to flow through, but retains any larger items, such as stones, leaves, and fish in the net itself.

An example of the word "mesh" in a sentence is: "Isobelle started to cry when she realised that the mesh of her fishing net had got a tear in it, and she was no longer able to use it to catch fish in the stream at the bottom of her garden".
7. Change one letter to make a word that means an untidy state.

Answer: mess

The word "mess" is also used to refer to a building or room in which members of the armed forces have their meals.

An example of the word "mess" (meaning "an untidy state") in a sentence is: "Mum told Johnny to go and tidy up the mess in his bedroom as they had someone coming round to view the house later that day".
8. Change one letter to make a word that is the name of the famous Scottish Loch that many people believe is home to a monster!

Answer: ness

The second largest Loch by surface area after Loch Lomond, Loch Ness is situated in the Scottish Highlands southwest of Inverness.

There have been many attempts made over the years to obtain a definite sighting of the elusive Loch Ness Monster (affectionately referred to as "Nessie"), but as at the time of writing this quiz, no solid evidence of her existence has been obtained.
9. Change one letter to make a word that is where a bird lays and incubates its eggs.

Answer: nest

Although we generally think of a nest as being made from twigs and other vegetation, different types of birds make their nests from all sorts of things. For example, some birds make a shallow depression in sand, others simply use knot-holes left by broken branches.

An example of the word "nest" in a sentence is: "The twins were really excited when they saw a bird eagerly working away in their garden, collecting twigs and using them to make a nest in the bushes in their garden".
10. Change one letter to make a word that is the opposite of east.

Answer: west

The four points of the compass are north, east, south and west.

There are a number of word patterns (known as mnemonics) that are used for remembering these four points of the compass, such as "Never Eat Shredded Wheat", "Naughty Elephants Squirt Water", and "Never Eat Soggy Waffles".

And so we have finally travelled from "east" to "west", and come to the end of this quiz journey!
