Can you solve it? Wordplay wizardry by the UK's king of quiz

Frank Paul's latest wordplay wizardry has landed in our inbox, and we're excited to put these brain teasers to the test.

First up is a pair of words that may seem innocuous at first glance but hold a secret to their spelling. The task is to swap three consecutive consonants with three consecutive vowels in each answer. Sounds straightforward, right? Not quite – as you'll soon discover.

Take the examples provided: "in a gentle way" equals "social environment," while "mildly" and "milieu" are the resulting words. Easy peasy, or so it seems.

Moving on to word patterns that require you to remove first and last letters from three-word combinations. Sounds complex, but trust us – with practice, it's just a matter of pattern recognition.

What's even more intriguing is Frank Paul's "Word Loop" puzzle, where the answer forms an AB, BC, CA sequence. It requires a different kind of thinking altogether. Can you unravel the tangled threads and come up with the correct sequence?

For those who enjoy word puzzles, there's also an enticing bonus – find three hidden numbers next to each other in this piece of writing, carefully crafted by Frank Paul himself.
