Stand-up comedians are known for their wordplay and ability to think on their feet.
But will those skills serve Russell Kane well as he goes head to head with his wife, Lindsey Kane, in this BBC Bitesize brainteaser?
We challenged them to see who was better at unscrambling anagrams and figuring out what connects each set of words. There was fierce competition, sarcasm and even a game of rock, paper, scissors!
Who do you think will win? Watch the video below to see who came out on top.
Why not try the challenge yourself and see if you can do any better?
Russell and Lindsey Kane go head to head in this BBC Bitesize challenge
Russell: I just hate anagrams.
Lindsey: He always wins everything.
Russell: How did I not know that?
Lindsey: They go into: hair accessories, tools, things you can see on a road, things you can find in a playground.
Russell: So the second one could be slide. So there are things - seesaw is the third one. So I have to solve this in reverse.
Lindsey: Is it things that you can see on the road? Okay so I did get it wrong. But what connects the three words is that they are all forms of playground equipment. Well, I failed on that one. Never mind. Onto the next!
Russell: Parts of the body, things found in the garden, gemstones, playing card symbols.
Lindsey: The first one where it looks like wreath, I think that is heart.
Russell: Maid Nod would be diamonds. They are playing card symbols. Boom!
Lindsey: Yes, I got it right. Yes!!
Russell: Titles of number one singles. I'll be in trouble there.
Lindsey: Elements of the periodic table. And it better not be that, because I know Russell is really good at that.
Russell: The only one I got a chance is elements of the periodic table, because I know all of them.
Lindsey: On the last one it says curry me, could it be Mercury?
Russell: I'm going to go number one signals singles. Ah!
Lindsey: I'm going to go for the elements. Yes!!
Russell: Furious.
Lindsey: Key Rut, twifs or nine pug. Countries, types of biscuits, surnames of famous pop stars or birds.
Russell: I've seen Swift straight away, but that could be a bird. Can't be a country.
Lindsey: Rut could be turkey. But what could that… oh, that's a bird.
Russell: I'm going to have to gamble on…
Lindsey: Yes, it was right! That was a good guess!
Russell: Oh, no. I'm having a shocker.
Russell: Same as me!
Lindsey: Yeah.
Russell: Aww.
Lindsey: I won't be able to sleep tonight and rest. We need to have a winner.
BOTH: One. Two. Three.
Russell: Surely.
Lindsey: YES!!! I take it, yes!
Russell: Not based on skill, though, so.
Lindsey: I won. I'm the winner! I'm the winner!
Russell: Of a luck based game.
