Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The word is PRAYER: It can be anagrammed into two shorter words. Their definitions are: Word 1: What you receive when you perform work (we hope!) Word 2: A not-quite-obsolete word, to make a mistake

Answer: pay err

When you work, you receive PAY. To ERR may be human, but humans aren't using that term so much these days-and when they do, so many people have mispronounced it in the last fifty years that it now has two pronunciations deemed correct.

2. The word is PETITION: It can be anagrammed into two shorter words. Their definitions are: Word 1: Garment worn around the neck Word 2: Extend an index finger

Answer: tie point

A TIE is worn around one's neck (usually, barring unfortunate episodes of inebration). One extends one's index finger to POINT to something.

3. The word is PLEADING: It can be anagrammed into two shorter words. Their definitions are: Word 1: Baked dessert in flavors like peach, key lime, pecan, pumpkin Word 2: An organ that secretes something into the body

Answer: pie gland

PIE comes in so many mouth-watering varieties; once I started listing them I could scarcely stop myself. A GLAND produces secretions.

4. The word is ENTREATY: It can be anagrammed into two shorter words. Their definitions are: Word 1: A term for a three of any suit in a deck or cards Word 2: In apple-pie order

Answer: trey neat

TREY is a term used to denote a card (or a die) with three pips. The term is also used in basketball, meaning a shot worth three points.

Couldn't quite get away from pie after the last question. Something in apple-pie order is NEAT!

5. The word is DEVOTION: It can be anagrammed into two shorter words. Their definitions are: Word 1: A short informal letter Word 2: Containing nothing, or null

Answer: note void

A short letter is a NOTE. That which contains nothing is VOID.

6. The word is ORISON: It can be anagrammed into two shorter words. Their definitions are: Word 1: Transgression of divine law Word 2: Kanga's offspring in the Hundred-Acre Wood

Answer: sin roo

It is, in my opinion, tantamount to a SIN if a Funtrivia participant doesn't know that Kanga's small child is ROO....

7. The word is SUPPLICATION: It can be anagrammed into two shorter words. Their definitions are: Word 1: Classroom students (studying the eye?) Word 2: Something done or performed

Answer: pupils action

Another word for students is PUPILS. When one does something s/he is taking ACTION.

8. The word is LITANY: It can be anagrammed into two shorter words. Their definitions are: Word 1: To set down Word 2: Metal using in making cans

Answer: lay tin

In my long-ago youth, "LAY" was NOT synonymous with "lie". My aged ears still ache when I hear someone say, "I'm tired; I'm going to lay down"....

TIN not only refers to the metal used to create cans, in some countries it has been commonly used to mean the cans themselves (hello, Brits and Aussies!)

9. The word is WORSHIP: It can be anagrammed into two shorter words. Their definitions are: Word 1: To demonstrate Word 2: To tear apart

Answer: show rip

Don't SHOW anyone the RIP in your pants!

10. The word is SOLICIT: It can be anagrammed into two shorter words. Their definitions are: Word 1: To wind into rings or spirals Word 2: To lower oneself from a standing position

Answer: coil sit

The origin of the word COIL is unknown, but it doesn't come from the word "curl" even though that's what it does.

And now you can SIT back and relax, you're finished!
