Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Add a letter to GREEN, mix them up a bit. Do not get angry!

Answer: enrage

Take the word 'GREEN' add an 'A' and give it a shake. gives you 'enrage'. To enrage means to make someone angry or furious.


smpdit rarely becomes enraged and isn't green, whilst participating in Phoenix Rising's 2022 World Tour.
2. Add another letter, and you will have a FunTrivia category!

Answer: general

The General Knowledge category has a wide variety of sub-categories, from Alphabetics to World Records. The "Mixed Nations" subcategory is worth exploring; each country quiz includes questions from a variety of topics such as the indigenous animals, literature, celebrities hailing from there, movies with key scenes staged in that land, etc.

Player pusdoc specifically penned this question as part of the Red Crew's journey on the Phoenix Rising Global Tour 2022.
3. Add yet another letter and scramble to arrive at a word meaning having gotten bigger.

Answer: enlarged

Adding a 'd' to 'general' allows us to anagram into the word 'enlarged'. Enlarged is often used in a context implying that some impetus caused something to have been enlarged. This can be that one enlarged a photograph by zooming in or that someone enlarged their knowledge base by playing quizzes on FunTrivia.

This question was enlarged into the quiz by Red Crew member and Phoenix Rising teammate Triviaballer as part of the team's 2022 World Tour.
4. Now, drop a letter, mix them up and you'll find a word meaning full of knots.

Answer: gnarled

After dropping an 'e' from enlarged we are able to anagram to make the word 'gnarled'. Interestingly, gnarled can mean both physically full of knots like hands from physical labor or a tree or it can mean someone that has a tough and rugged disposition.

With his decades of trivia experience, this question was gnarled into the quiz by Red Crew member and Phoenix Rising teammate Triviaballer as part of the team's 2022 World Tour.
5. Drop a letter and drop a line, who gives it a swish to catch a fish?

Answer: Angler

An angler is a fisherman (fisherperson?) who catches fish using a rod and lure. The meaning of the word stems from the old word for hanging - in this case a hook hanging from a simple pole. The term used to refer to the people cleaning and selling the fish as well but has evolved to mean the fisher only. Rods now are often made of carbon fibre and have a reel attached, and lures or fresh bait used to attract the fish.

Leith90 caught this question to add to the creel. While she's partial to a bit of fresh fish, she catches her fish at the supermarket (fully prepped, of course).
6. Drop another letter, rearrange and you'll have something to cook your fish on! Or it could also be open land for grazing. It is also the term for a chain of mountains.

Answer: range

In addition to the stovetop range, the "Home on the Range" usage and mountain ranges, the word range also is a statistical term referring to the limits of a series, e.g. the range of questions in this quiz is 1 to 10.

This question was derived by player pusdoc as part of the Phoenix Rising Global Tour 2022. She would like to be driving a Range Rover, but she's stuck in an airport in Tenerife instead.
7. Add a letter to find a real gem!

Answer: garnet

Garnets are semi-precious stones that are generally deep red in colour though they can also appear in other colours, with blue being the rarest. Commonly found in metamorphic or igneous rock, they are composed of silicate minerals. They are used as an abrasive in industrial situations, and also are a popular jewellery stone. They are attributed to January, Aquarius and Capricorn as birthstones. Different species of garnets are the official gemstones of New York, Connecticut, Idaho and Vermont.

smpdit, herself a total gem, admires her garnet ring as she embarks on the Phoenix Rising Tour of 2022 (Red Team).
8. Add a letter and rearrange them to find a word that describes something unfamiliar.

Answer: strange

The word strange also refers to one of the six types of quarks, subatomic particles that make up all known matter. Strange quarks have only been observed in cosmic rays.

This question was provided by player pusdoc, who agrees that people are strange when you're a stranger, as she has noted whiling away time in the Tenerife airport on Phoenix Rising's Global Tour 2022.
9. Isn't it - odd? Not anymore! Drop a letter and stir them around to find a word meaning toward the rear of a ship.

Answer: astern

Ahoy mateys! Astern usually applies to a boat, but can also be used when discussing the position relative to an airplane.

Player pusdoc steered this question into the quiz as part of the Red Crew's jaunt on the Phoenix Rising Global Tour 2022.
10. Take the prior word and this time drop the N, add a W, and anagram the letters to come to a word that is the superlative form describing meat that is undercooked.

Answer: rawest

Raw meat is considered a delicacy in many instances, and some groups have ascribed wondrous benefits to its consumption. However, raw meat is more likely to harbor and transmit harmful bacterial pathogens so cooking meat is generally recommended.

If you drop one letter (the S) and anagram, you will have arrived at WATER! Minus the green! Hopefully much safer to consume than raw meat . . .

Player pusdoc cooked up this question as part of the Red Crew's participation in the Phoenix Rising Global Tour 2022.
