Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Start with a word of seven letters. A frequency band used by a particular station in radio or television communication.

Answer: channel

Television signals are broadcasted from a broadcast station to television receivers. The signal can be either analog or digital. The signal consists of audio signals and video signals. Analog television signals typically have a frequency in Megahertz (MHz). Radio signals typically have a lower frequency and higher wavelength.

2. Drop a letter. A French fashion house.

Answer: Chanel

Chanel S.A. is famous for the perfume named 'No. 5 de Chanel' and for popularising the 'little black dress' in women's fashion. Chanel mainly manufactures haute couture clothes for women. Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, also known as Coco Chanel was the founder of the company.

3. Drop another letter and unscramble. Not dirty.

Answer: clean

The word 'clean' is of Germanic origin, and can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word 'klainiz'. Curiously, the Dutch word 'klein' and the German word 'klein', both meaning 'small', have the same origin as 'clean'.

4. Drop yet another letter. To incline or bend from a vertical position.

Answer: lean

The word which originally referred to bending or inclining physically, is now also used to refer to describe ideological positions. For example, voters can 'lean' towards voting for a certain party in an election. Such an example denotes a most likely outcome.

5. Drop another letter, and unscramble to reach a three-letter word. A sweet type of beer with a fruity taste.

Answer: ale

Ale can be of various types, including brown ale, pale ale, golden ale and Scotch ale. Ale is prepared by fermentation at a comparatively higher temperature than other varieties of alcohol. The yeast produces esters, which give the characteristic fruity smell in ale.

6. Finally, drop a letter and unscramble to get a two-letter word. Masculine singular article in Spanish.

Answer: el

The article 'el' comes from the Vulgar Latin form 'illu', in turn derived from Latin words 'ille' and 'illum'. The masculine plural article in Spanish is 'los'. The prepositions 'de', meaning 'of', and 'a', meaning 'to', if used before the article 'el', contract to form 'del' and 'al' respectively.

7. Now, start working your way up! Add a letter and unscramble. To allow, to permit.

Answer: let

The word 'let' is of Germanic origin, and can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word 'letana'. The Dutch word 'laten' and the German word 'lassen', both having the same meaning, have the same origin as the English origin. Just like the English word 'water' has a cognate in the German 'wasser', a similar phonological change has occurred in German.

8. Add another letter and unscramble. A blue-green colour.

Answer: teal

The teal colour is close to cyan. The name of the colour comes from the Eurasian teal, a bird with the scientific name 'Anas crecca'. The male teal bird has prominent coloured markings on its head and face, whence the colour got its name. The bird is a migratory bird, and flies south in the winter season from Eurasia.

9. Add another letter. Unscramble. Afterward in time.

Answer: later

The word 'later' is a comparative form of the word 'late'. The word can also refer to some unspecified time in the future. The word is of Germanic origin.

10. You have reached the end! Add a final letter and unscramble to get a six-letter word! To make or show a connection, or feel sympathy for.

Answer: relate

A person can even relate to fictional people in mediums of entertainment and art, if the story depicted appeals to him or her emotionally. Art or entertainment that has a mass popularity usually contains some element that many people can relate to.
