Haha... I also guessed "family tree" for "history of breeding." Though I knew it was probably wrong since, even though not specified here, usually these tests have single word answers.

Level 76

I first thought genealogee but then thought no, that is not the right english spelling

Level 68

Apr 8, 2026

I tried genealogee and husbandree even though I knew they were wrong. Never thought of the right answer.

Level 44

Got them all, but possibly the description for "divorcée" should be "A woman who is no longer married", since the masculine form of the word is "divorcé".

Level ∞

Fixed

Level 76

Mar 24, 2026

Should be "woman whose marriage has been dissolved". Women who are no longer married also include widows!

Level 44

Apr 7, 2026

Sure, but Widow obviously doesn't fit with the theme of the quiz. You could say alternate non-fitting answers for some of the others too

Good quiz. Had to think on some of them, but still finished with 1:56 left. (Always a good quiz when I get 'em all.)

Level 68

Apr 30, 2016

I tried "evacuee" but it didn't work for refugee.

Level 80

Apr 30, 2016

I too put family tree even though I was fairly certain it was wrong. Never did come up w/ pedigree. Regarding the talk about parolee, that's the first thing I came up with. Just seemed like the right fit.

Level 21

Apr 30, 2016

couldn't evacuee also apply to one who flees his country to escape war, persecution or a natural disaster

Level 59

Feb 9, 2017

For someone fleeing their country due to war, I was going to try SOL, but it didn't end in ee. 😉

Level 87

Jun 21, 2017

Statue of Liberty??? (Perhaps "libertee"?)

Level 94

Evacuee should be every bit as acceptable as refugee. Especially with natural disaster part of the clue. If you aren't going to take it, then remove natural disaster and/or mention that it's for an extended period or something about a legal status.

Level 83

Sep 20, 2025

So you’re just entirely ignoring the flees the country because of war part?

Level 53

Apr 18, 2018

Breeder for history of breeding?

Level 79

Sep 10, 2025

"Matinee" for an afternoon performance is almost as stupid as americans using "Entree" for a main course. Just use a separate word

Level 76

Mar 24, 2026

Who is out here spelling "tipi" as "teepee"?

Level 76

Mar 24, 2026

Never mind, I Googled it. It's Americans. That tracks, actually.

Level 86

Mar 24, 2026

Brits as well aparently

Level ∞

Mar 24, 2026

Yeah, but other than the Brits and the Americans?

Level 85

Mar 26, 2026

Very good :)

My first attempt was tepee, but it wasn't allowed.

Level 88

"I can't believe Americans spell a word that comes from a tribe in the US differently from me! Outrageous!"

Level 86

Mar 25, 2026

The standard spelling is either “tipi” or “tepee”, not “teepee”. At the very least “tepee” should be accepted.

Level 94

Mar 24, 2026

I don’t think divorcee, matinee or soiree are in the spirit of this quiz. They should really be spelt with the acute accent on the first e, to indicate that the pronunciation follows the original French form.

Level 94

Mar 24, 2026

Unless they are pronounced that way in The States?

Level 51

Mar 26, 2026

Have you ever seen them with the accent in a text written in English? Have you ever looked in an English dictionary?

Level 94

Mar 24, 2026

Please accept "tepee" as another spelling for "teepee".

Level 76

Mar 25, 2026

It was weird that it wasn't an acceptable spelling since it's the primary spelling of the word in the dictionary.

Level 67

Apr 7, 2026

living in the American southwest i can say i've never seen it spelled in any way other than "teepee".

Level 83

Apr 8, 2026

Irrelevant. Tipis were a common dwelling type over about half the North American continent. The classic image most people conjure was mostly a great plains style, covered in buffalo (bison) hides.

It's only apogee if the thing being orbited is the Earth (gee, as in geo). The furthest orbital point for an object orbiting the sun, for example, is aphelion. The general term is apsis

Level 85

This is great knowledge, Waxy.

Level 63

I thought one who no longer works meant unemployment. I tried unemployee. :D

Level 32

Mar 30, 2026

Same.

Level 65

Apr 7, 2026

"most distant point in orbit around Earth" would be apogee

"most distant point in orbit around the Sun" would be aphelion

"most distant point in orbit" in general would be apoapsis
