2. Drop a letter from STRIPE to discover the pointy roof of a church.

Answer: spire

Spires are usually tall and pointed, so it is no surprise that the word shares an etymological root with 'spear'.

Answer: riposte

A riposte is also a term in fencing; it is a return thrust after an opponent's attack, or parry.

There are 100 piastres (piasters in US) in an Egyptian pound. It was also used to define currency units in French Indochina. The word has the same base as the Spanish word 'peso'.

5. Dig deep and add a letter to STRIPE. Do not get fooled by those nuggets!

Iron pyrites (iron sulphide) is a mineral that is known as 'fool's gold' because of its resemblance to the real thing.

It is used in the making of paper, solar panels, batteries and jewellery.

6. Mix the letters in STRIPE, and do not add or delete anything. Find a religious leader.

The word is derived from the Latin, and simply means 'elder'. It is used in several different religions, including Catholicism, Latter Day Saints, Hinduism, and even Wicca.

7. Add a letter to STRIPE and become slightly more affected by alcohol.

Answer: tipsier

To be tipsy means to be partially intoxicated. The word was coined about 200 years ago, taking its meaning from the word to be wobbly, and may be inclined to tip over.

Answer: piste

On-piste is the prepared area, where the skiing or snowboarding is supervised or patrolled, whereas off-piste means going off the beaten track and skiing ungroomed areas.

Answer: strip

Strip mining involves collecting coal, or other useful materials, from the surface and not from deep underground. You can strip your bed of its sheets, soccer players call their uniform a strip, and you can strip the bark off a tree. Lots of definitions!
