Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Beginning with the word BLACK, change one letter to make a word that means loose.

Answer: Slack

If you have a taut (or tight) rope, and you loosen it, you have given it SLACK. It can also mean slow or lazy, like having a SLACK attitude, or SLACKening your pace.

2. Now change a letter to make a word that means smooth and slippery.

Answer: Slick

SLICK is not only something smooth and slippery to the touch, but it can also mean 'cool' (he's one SLICK dude) or deft (he made a SLICK move).

3. Another letter change gives a word that describes one way to use a knife.

Answer: Slice

There are lots of ways to use a knife, but when you use it to SLICE something, you usually cut a SLICE off whatever it was you SLICEd. Like cake, for instance. I like cake.

4. Switch a letter to come up with something you can add to food to give it a different flavour.

Answer: Spice

There are many different SPICEs available to flavour foods, like salt and pepper, or nutmeg and cinnamon, just to name a few. When it comes to making food yummy, they are 'the SPICE of life'!

5. Change one letter to make a word that describes all the bones that hold you up from your tailbone to your skull.

Answer: Spine

Also known as your backbone, the SPINE is made up of 24 bones called vertebrae, plus two more bones called the sacrum and the coccyx (tailbone).

6. Change another letter to get a word describing the pointy top to a church bell tower.

Answer: Spire

A SPIRE is really any tall, narrow structure that tapers to a narrow point. It could be the top of a building, or even a natural structure like a rock formation. On a church building, the SPIRE is often atop the steeple.

7. With another letter change, you can make a word that used to be used in England to describe a county. Or maybe it's where you can find Hobbits.

Answer: Shire

What are now called counties in England were (mostly) once called SHIREs, and there are some places that still have SHIRE in their place name (like YorkSHIRE). And, of course, if you are a fan of "The Lord of the Rings" or "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien, you know that Hobbits live in The SHIRE in Middle Earth.

8. Change another letter to make a word to describe what a light does.

Answer: Shine

When you turn on a light, you let it SHINE for everyone to see. Really, anything that becomes bright and more visible can be said to SHINE - you can even SHINE black shoes, so that they become mirror-like.

9. Change one letter to come up with a word that describes a type of pleading or complaining you might you do when you want something really badly from your parents.

Answer: Whine

A WHINE is a high-pitched, kind of grating sound that usually goes along with fear, pain, or (like the in the question) complaint. You can WHINE when you want something, or if you don't get what you want.

10. One last little letter change will finally give you the opposite of where you started in this quiz. What goes with BLACK to complete a zebra?

Answer: White

And we come to WHITE, which in terms of light, is the sum of all colors, where BLACK is absence of any color. Inbetween you would find the different shades of gray.

Whether you think zebras are BLACK with WHITE stripes, or WHITE with BLACK stripes, I hope you enjoyed playing this quiz.
