The quiz, or rather quizzes, are based on ONEYEAR.
Quiz 1 : What are the front and back hooks to ONE and the back hooks to YEAR ? (There are no front hooks to YEAR). There are 18 to find, try to find at least 14.
(ie what 4 letter words end -ONE, and start ONE- and what words start YEAR-)
Quiz 2 : What 4 letter words can you make from the 7 letters ONEYEAR ? There are 30 words to find, if you think your knowledge of 4s is good, aim for 22+, if its weaker, try for 10-15)
