• My rating: Easy
• My score: Perfect

One for the kids here, with five answers that few people under the age of about 25 will probably have ever used. OK, that’s a little OTT; online dictionaries obviously exist. But ALMANAC? HANDBOOK? ATLAS? I asked my own teens (both 14 years old) and they had no clue what an ALMANAC was, at least. The other two they had heard of, but whether they would have thought to guess them is a different matter.

I had no such problems, as a creature of advanced years, and solved this one fairly swiftly. Though again, I’m not sure I’d have got ALMANAC if it wasn’t the only word left by the time I got to it…
