And moped/mo-ped is somehow unexpected. I hope you had fun😊

That was a fun quiz! There must be more words, surely?
ReplyDeleteThere are, but I thought people would get bored. Maybe you could compile Quiz Part "??
DeleteI got them all except 2,5,7! That was fun!
ReplyDelete☑️
DeleteThank you for that quiz. I did get them all but wasn't too sure about agape but went for it after some deliberation. It was fun, I too love words. Regards Sue H

DeleteI remember hearing something about a word being a verb or a noun depending on whether the stress was on the first or second syllable, but I can't remember which way around it is.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the fascinating list.
English is so crazy though - practise and practice sound the same, one is a verb, the other a noun [you practiSe singing, verb, but the Choir has practiCe, noun]
DeleteJust catching up. Love your example, practise =singing etc. the other one I get wrong is license.
DeleteHi Sue Jay. Licence/license follows the same rule as practice/practise (unless you are in the USA)
DeleteI got most of them, but not agape. I was also unsure about collect being a prayer, so I have to admit to that being a bit of a guess. Thanks for providing the answers. xx
ReplyDeleteWell done for trying!
DeleteI came across another puzzle that might be fun. The solution consists of two rhyming words, so the clue might be, "suitable building material" - "good wood", or "novel holy person" - "quaint saint". There is an on-line version, but it is fun to make them up!
ReplyDeleteMy friend John taught me this game back in 1973. He claimed he'd invented it - but I think it was around a long time before that! He called it Stinky Pinky - a two syllable couplet like "iron boiler" [metal kettle]. If the words were one-syllable [like your examples] they were Stink Pinks. if three syllables then Stinkety Pinkety. His favourite StinketyPinkety was "King Henry's Wife, a model of excellence" and the answer was Aragon Paragon.

DeleteThat was a fun quiz, Angela. I didn't know that a short prayer was a collect. In the same vein as practise and practice, there is rise (verb) and rice (noun), advise (verb) and advice (noun). And then, there are those words which are pronounced differently depending on which side of the pond one lives - schedule, lieutenant, nephew, etc. :D
ReplyDeleteWe often watch TV with subtitles, and notice the UK /USA spelling differences
