Find the Word

Here’s a game you can play that Harry and George would love, if only they could read! It’s a lot of fun.

Take a word and see how many other words you can make out of it. It’s a good idea to have a system. Start with the first letter of the word and then go on to the second and then the third. For example: DINNER can be made into: DEN, IN, NINE, END, RED (amongst other words).

How many words can you make out of: HORNET, BUTTERFLY, DRAINPIPE and CENTIPEDE?

What has 50 legs but can’t walk?

Half a centipede



What do you get if you cross a centipede and a chicken?

Enough drumsticks to feed an army
