You have to find the word which contains the unusual letter combination. For example if the question were THH, restrain (8) the answer would be WITHHOLD. The three letter combination can appear anywhere in the answer as three consecutive letters. Take your time to consider each question.
Please enter your answer in the box below the question. The answers are not case-sensitive but you have to spell the word correctly. You will get a score at the end of the quiz.
