Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Each answer will consist of two seven letter words that are anagrams of each other. An example of a question and answer is 'More pallid buccaneers', which becomes 'pastier pirates'. Starting letters for each word will be given and no punctuation is required.
Q1 is- 'Keeps parts of the eyes'
2. Which two seven-letter words can solve this puzzle?
'Simmered gull, for example'
3. Seven letter words score a bonus 50 points in Scrabble, so a good knowledge of the more common combinations is important.
Your next challenge- 'Perceive ashes'.
4. Many players memorise lists of 6-letter 'stems', such as SATIRE or RAINED or STRIDE plus an extra letter.
Try- 'Celebrated newspaper heads'
5. Other players use mnemonics such as WATERS- 'lamented by fish'. Each letter of the mnemonic combines with the root word to form a 7-letter word. (wastrel, awarest, etc)
Have a stab at- 'Cold-shoulders areas'.
6. There are over 32,000 seven letter words, and only the world's best would know them all. I do not profess to know them all...
'Suffocate a vacuum flask'.
7. The Q is not regarded as a bonus-friendly letter, but there are over 170 7-letter words starting with that letter! These answers are NOT included in that 170.
Solve, if you can- 'Silliest bank transaction'.
8. A bit of a tricky one here.
'Enraged Mills bomb'.
9. You may have noticed that many of the correct answers have contained an 'S'. Most serious Scrabble players consider it to be the second most flexible tile, second only to the blank.
The answer to this puzzle contains an S - 'More delicious emus'.
10. The silliness of the English language is demonstrated by the fact that 'anagram' does NOT have an anagram.
Another testing question- 'A purplish tycoon'.
