I didn't know all of it @BobM although I knew E and A.....the rest was a guess. Mad really, it could have been EACH, EARL, EAST or even EARS....

Well done everyone

Thank you @BobM and @Cleoriff

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your award

As @Cleoriff said, the Morse Code question was difficult - as even if you knew a couple of the letters, there were so many words it could be.

Hope you, and everyone else, likes the questions in today`s WRQ which is now posted on a separate thread.
