Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Drop a letter from "WRONG" (and anagram) to make a dress usually worn during formal occasions.

Answer: Gown

Wrong -> -r -> Gown

A gown is a long dress women often wear to special occasions. It can also be used as a verb to describe someone wearing that type of clothing.

2. Drop another letter to make a word that is a synonym of "present".

Answer: Now

Gown -> -g -> Now

"Now" is an adverb referring to the present, used to describe the time something is taking place ("I am leaving now").

3. Lose one last letter to get a word that has the same relationship to "yes" as "wrong" has to "right".

Answer: No

Now -> -w -> No

"Wrong" is the opposite of "right".
"No" is the opposite of "yes".

4. This time, add a letter: the same letter you just dropped. It makes a word that explains what a gold medalist did.

Answer: Won

No -> +w -> Won

Gold medals are typically awarded to winners of sporting competitions - in the Olympics, for example.

"Won" is a semi-palindrome: it forms a different word when spelled backwards. "Won" backwards is "now" - the answer to question 2.

5. Add another letter to get something that has been overused and is tattered as a result.

Answer: Worn

Won -> +r -> Worn

"Worn away" is often used to describe something that is eroded - clothes get worn over time. "Worn" can also be the past tense of "wear" ("It is worn over the shoulders").

6. Add a letter and you will get a word that is an antonym of an antonym of "left".

Answer: Wrong

Worn -> +g -> Wrong
We're back to where we started!

"Right" is an antonym of "left".
"Wrong" is an antonym of "right".

7. Add a letter to make a synonym of "quarreling".

Answer: Rowing

Wrong -> +i -> Rowing

Although "rowing" also describes a sport, "row" can mean "to argue" and someone arguing may be described as "rowing".

8. Add a letter to make a word describing what is currently happening to the words in this quiz.

Answer: Growing

Rowing -> + g -> Growing

"Growing" describes anything that is developing or getting larger - it can describe an organism ("the plant is growing") or an inanimate object ("the words in this quiz are growing in length").

9. Adding a letter makes an angry noise a dog might make.

Answer: Growling

Growing -> +l -> Growling

A growl is a low-pitched noise, usually a threatening sound made by an animal - a dog, for instance.

10. Add a letter to make another angry verb: this time, a look someone might give you if you're doing something wrong.

Answer: Glowering

Growling -> +e -> Glowering

A "glower" is a synonym of "scowl" and "glare": it is an annoyed look on someone's face.
