Richard Of York Gave is the start of the mnemonic for the colours of the rainbow. No?

I think there's a cricket teams in there too, Outlaws, Sharks and Bears but I'm not sure what the last one would be (the Northampton Leftovers perhaps?)

So the remaining group is:

Inside, Righteous, Downdraft, Leftover.

I have a bit of a mental block when it comes to what's verbs, adverbs, pronouns, etc. But is it anything to do with starting with In, Right, Down, Left?

Correct- all words begin with a directional work.

With Outlaws as the red herring, I assume.
That was a good wall. :)

Correct :D

Got one more- again this is really straightforward, but I also do youth work and we got these going for our 16-18 year olds and this was the second and final one I prepared...


Clark Joyce Ladder Warren
Lair Cabot Hollow Lewis
Kin Burrow Hart Hudson
Bran Hole Lun Drake

They solved the first one in about 20 seconds :lol: , this one took them a little longer but the five of them who did it solved it in 3 minutes.

I'm the leader for the 8-11 year old section and the group we have at the minute love quizzes and drawing so I'm trying to think how to incorporate this in their somewhere (Taskmaster games have gone down well). We tried missing vowels on simple words and got through about 10 in the first 30 seconds using football teams and then I did "celebrities" they'll know and we made about 2 in 5 minutes, before I gave up :lol: :lol: :lol: given the fact they got CHLS, RSNL and VRTN so quickly but couldn't get LWS HMLTN was amazing :lol: As a Max fan I was secretly pleased ;)

Yep- same as Bertie you've got the group, as you'd button-mash to work them out it's the explorers minus Lewis. That was the herring.

Bertie's in the same boat- its synonyms for Burrow, Burrow is the herring.
