I like these kind of quizzes, so a nomination from me. I did not know the word munificent (not a native speaker).

There were also a few answers I had never heard of, but that is not a bad thing at all. Didn't feel like I did too great, but was actually above average. I hope I will remember the new words though and do better next time. Or atleast get the ones I should have gotten.. (If only I thought of the warlike word... Then I would ve gotten the next 2 as well) I wás thinking about the god Mars even tried Martian (and maybe mars_like?), wasn't able to change it into the right type of word.

25 out of 30, and English isn't even my mother tongue. Btw, before this I had no idea what Quixotic means, but I got it anyway. My phone's autocorrect keeps suggesting Quixotic every time I try to type Quijote. Adjective, 8 letters, starts with Qui- . . . why not try Quixotic!
