A WORD QUIZ

‘I’ve got a strange list of words here,’ said Sam, ‘and apparently there is one missing.’

‘Let me have a look at the list,’ said Nicky.

CWM

FJORD

BANKS

VEXT

GLYPH

‘A cwm and a fjord are both something to do with valleys, aren’t they? And I suppose valleys have banks. What about glyph and vext though?’ Nicky asked.

‘Apparently a glyph is a mark like a hieroglyph, and vext is an ancient spelling of vexed.

‘Well I’m none the wiser,’ said Nicky.

‘Nor me,’ said Sam.
