May 2023 has 3 Bank holidays.

Over each of the Bank Holiday weekends, we will set a quiz based on our current membership’s first names.

Some of the quizzes will be easy, some less so. Those that are harder may have easier targets to achieve or some helpful aids.

Sometimes you will have to find short words, sometimes 8 letter words – a set of quizzes for everyone…. About everyone!

 

Here are the first set of names..

 

1.       Maureen

       What 8 letter words can you make from MAUREEN and a blank ?

       There are only 3, you will need a T for an everyday English word, an S for a less well-known English word (hint… think computer logon), and a V for a horrible American word.

 

2.      

 

       Wanda

 What 3 and 4 letter words can you make from WANDA ? There are 13 in total, over 10 is very good.

 

 

3.       Joy

        There are only 3 4 letter words you can make with JOY and a blank. How many do you know?

 

 

4.       Graham

 There are 14 4 letter words you can make from GRAHAM. There are 4 easy-ish words…so well done if you get more than 4.

 

 (Bonus quiz, what are the anagrams of GRAHAM + S?)

 

 

5.       Helen

HELEN combines with C,U and Y to make 3 very obscure words (for one of them think of a nearby town).

 

So to make it easier… what are the 6 2 letter words you can make from HELEN, and what are the 6 3 letter words ?

 

6.      Maire

      There are 28 6 letter words you can make with MAIRE and a blank.

To help you here are the letters you can use as a blank and the number of answers.

MAIRE+B (1, hard)

MAIRE+D (1, easy)

MAIRE+G (4, 1 easy, 2 more guessable, 1 hard)

MAIRE+H (1, hard)

MAIRE+L (2, easy)

MAIRE+M (1, guessable)

MAIRE+N (4, 3 easy, 1 guessable)

MAIRE+P (1, hard)

MAIRE+S (7, 1 easy, 2 guessable, 4 hard)

MAIRE+T (2, 1 guessable, 1 hard)

MAIRE+U (1, hard)

MAIRE+W (1, hard)

MAIRE+Y (1, hard)

MAIRE+Z (1, guessable)

 

 

7.       Jen

 There are 4 4 letter words you can make from JEN and blank. Two are obscure, but worth knowing.
