In his Superquiz, Harry Hollinsworth challenges participants to find words of four letters or more that include the center letter and use each letter only once. Additionally, participants must find at least one nine-letter word and are not allowed to use colloquial or foreign words, capitalize nouns, use apostrophes or hyphens, or use verbs or plural words ending in “s”. The solution list is not exhaustive and participants are challenged to find a certain number of words to determine their skill level.
In today’s Superquiz, the target is to find 16 words for an average level, 24 words for a good level, and 32 or more words for an excellent level. Yesterday’s Target Time included words such as “deem”, “deme”, “denim”, “dime”, and more. Participants are encouraged to use the Macquarie Dictionary as a reference source for finding valid words that meet the criteria set by Hollinsworth.
The challenge of finding words of a specific length and containing certain letters adds an extra layer of difficulty to the Superquiz. By restricting the types of words that can be used, participants are pushed to think creatively and expand their vocabulary. The added challenge of finding a nine-letter word further tests participants’ word-finding skills and adds to the overall difficulty of the task.
Superquiz participants are required to carefully consider each word they come up with to ensure it meets all the specific criteria set by Hollinsworth. By restricting the types of words that can be used, participants are challenged to think outside the box and come up with unique word combinations. This not only tests their knowledge of vocabulary but also their ability to think critically and creatively in order to meet the requirements set by the Superquiz.
Overall, Superquiz by Harry Hollinsworth provides a fun and challenging word puzzle for participants to solve. By setting specific criteria for the types of words that can be used, participants are pushed to expand their vocabulary and think creatively. The challenge of finding a certain number of words of a specific length adds an extra layer of difficulty, making the Superquiz a stimulating and engaging activity for word enthusiasts.
