Stuff.co.nz runs a recurring daily “Hard Word” quiz series in which readers are asked to guess a single target word based on limited clues. Each item follows the same game format: “One word, one clue, one minute.” The supplied clue defines or describes the meaning of the word, and solvers must respond within a short time frame. The different quiz prompts cover a wide range of vocabulary and definitions. Reported clue themes include giving over to another’s care, becoming shed or cast off, being unnecessarily ready to give advice, and describing something unusual or eccentric. Other entries focus on transgressing or breaking a rule, a place of great peace or bliss, and a very large number. Additional prompts reference studied care in analysing or planning, an austere appearance or attitude, and the idea of attributing something as a quality. Across the items provided, the outlet presents each quiz as a separate daily challenge, inviting readers to try solving the word from the clue before the answer is revealed.
