I tried that too. We should make demopilot be a word so this quiz has to accept it.

Some reason I kept thinking "grandcircle" and "grandfinal" even though neither are words.

The -parent, -fusion one caught me out because I kept trying words like godparent, grandparent, step-parent and so on even though it isn't pronounced as such

Nice one ! I only missed 3, meta, micro ( though I have tried macro and thought I tried micro) and hydro, though my last word before the timer ran out was water...

All pretty doable, but you don't see them instantly (not all anyway) that's what makes a nice quiz :)

I also tried this, and could not get the right answer, because, I guess, my eyes are also bad: it's not COM, it's CORN.

Am I the only one who thought carbon copy? Then I thought is carbonography a word? Maybe it's the study of how carbon is drawn :-)

Shut yo mouth. This quiz is tough enough without the yellow box. It is just a nice bonus when you get one by accident.

Not sure if it counts as a prefix, but "Grand" could be used for Circle and Final. Grand Circle in the theatre, Grand Final in sports.

Those are two-word phrases, not single words including a prefix.

That was really good! It was hard for my brain to work it out because I don't always get the pronunciation right without the prefix.

How about dielectric and diplane? I realize the latter is a term in optics and doesn't seem that commonly used, but it does exist. I kept trying it (though I eventually hit on the intended prefix).
