Hi,

Over the Easter weekend there will be 4 quizzes that will test your 4 letter words with 3 vowels. All 4 quizzes have been concatenated on the website.

Each day, you will be given a number of consonants, and all the appropriate vowels needed to make a 4 letter word with that consonant - all you have to do is to make all the 4 letter words.

The list of vowels may seem daunting in some cases, but once you take away the vowels that make 'everyday' words, you should be able to make a good attempt at the more obscure ones.

B  (3 words) : AA EE I OOO U 

         (ie make 3 4letter words, each containing a B and 3  of the supplied vowels. All 9 of the supplied vowels used once)  

C (2 words)  : AAA II O

D (6 words) : AAAAA   EEEEEEE  IIIII    O     (That's 5 A, 7 E, 5 I, 1 O)

F - none

G (6 words) : AAAAA EEEEEEE II OO UU   (5 A, 7 E, 2 I, 2 O, 2 U)

H (3 words) : AA IIII OO U

J (2 words) : AA EE I O

K (3 words) : AAA EEE II U

L (13 words, yes, THIRTEEN) : AAAAAAAAAAAA     EEEEEEEEEE    IIIII  OOOOOOOO UUUU (12 A, 10 E, 5 I,  8 O, 4 U) 

M (8 words) : AAAAA EEEEE IIII  OOOOOO UUUU (5 A, 5 E, 4 I, 6 O, 4 U)

N (12 words) : AAAAAAAAAAA    EEEEEEEE   IIIIIIII  OOOOO  UUUU                       (11 A, 8 E, 8 I, 5 O, 4 U)

P (3 words) : AAA EEE O UU

Q (2 words) : AAA I UU

R (10 words) AAAAAAAAAAA   EEEEEE  III  OOOO   UUUUUU     (11 A, 6 E, 3 I, 4 O, 6 U)

S (6 words) AAAAAAAA EEEEE I OO UU

T (7 words) AAAAAAA EE III OOOO UUUUU

V (5 words) AAAA EEEEEEE I O UU

W (3 words) A EEEEEE I O

X (2 words) AA E II U

Y none

Z  (3 words) A EE OOOOO U

There are 27 3 letter words which end with 2 consonants, and both the consonants are the same. How many of the 27 do you know ?

To confirm, words like ADD should be on your list, words like ACT should not.

Extra hint, most of the 27 words start with a vowel, but not all.
