These are merely suggestions.

Maybe for starters change the title, as its a bit misleading haha. And the description could be something along the lines of "In the Māori language(Te Reo Māori), there are many duplicate words such as 'pakipaki', 'tohutohu' and 'karekare'. These would appear blank in the answer columns. There are also part-duplicate words such as 'rererangi', 'kārakaraka' and 'harakeke'. These would appear as '____rangi', 'kā________', or 'hara____', in the answer columns.

How many Māori duplicate or part-duplicate suburbs and localities can you name?"

But just suggestions you can just disregard if you don't like them ahahaha

Kia ora Hinengarangi; thanks for these edit ideas which have been largely incorporated into the title and instructions.

Got 11/31. Should have got more. The blanks are pretty hard though. But you kick yourself when you see Kerikeri, Matamata...
