There are 41 4 letter words that end with a Z. 

18 of them end in –ZZ e.g BUZZ and JAZZ for which you would need a blank to play.

This month’s quiz is to name the other 23 4 letter words that end in a Z (ie do not end –ZZ).

This quiz is quite hard, so between 5-10 is a good score, 11-16 very good and 17-23 excellent.
