I agree. It should be excepted

LOL, epic fail, my friend.

Double fail, Mr Quiz Guy.

Level 84

Feb 13, 2015

What in the world is a pram?

Level 41

Mar 12, 2015

Old fashioned four wheeled baby carriage, short for perambulator I believe.

+11

Level 77

Mar 17, 2015

I have to push the Pram-A-Loooooooooot

Level 75

Jun 11, 2015

We still say pram in Britain, or at least we do where I'm from

Level 67

Jun 11, 2015

A stroller

Level 37

Apr 27, 2017

A stroller is not a pram. I think that the closest thing to a pram that we know is the old fashioned baby carriage.

Level 56

Apr 8, 2022

i mean, the hint is stroller

Level 59

Dec 30, 2016

Used more in the UK.

Level 10

Jul 23, 2017

it's like a buggy

Level 78

Nov 8, 2019

A pram is commonly-used word, that is short for perambulator.

Level 59

Feb 11, 2020

Actually it isn't a stroller which is usually called a buggy over here. A pram is a baby carriage with 4 wheels and carries the baby lying down like a cot, a cot on wheels. Oh a cot is called a crib in USA, I nearly forgot. As said already 'pram' came from perambulator which is a very Victorian sort of word.

Level 72

Apr 14, 2022

Pram or buggy are pretty much interchangeable these days for any contraption with wheels that you push babies around in, and get your fingers sheared off by if you’re not careful folding/unfolding it. My mum used to refer to the type you’re describing (and which she carted me and my sister around in) as a bassinette pram (don’t quote me on the spelling). Although anyone seen using one of those these days is almost definitely shoplifting frozen turkeys.

Level 27

Mar 30, 2020

Here in the UK pram is another word for push-chair or baby stroller as Americans would call them.

Level 44

Mar 12, 2015

could not figure out how to spell meow :P

Cats can't spell, but their witches can.

Level 61

Jun 11, 2015

First time I got 100% on two puzzles the same night. Weird. Most times, my memory is pretty crappy.

Level 73

Jun 11, 2015

Yes, Suzanne Vega is a star!

Level 78

Jun 12, 2015

I kept typing "Dino" for the extinct animal starting with "d" and ending with "o"...

Level 22

May 7, 2016

same

Level 31

Jun 19, 2016

"Dino" isn't really one extinct animal. It didn't really occur to me at all.

Level 82

Sep 5, 2015

AIDS isn't a word but I really don't care, jus' sayin'

Level 88

Jul 17, 2018

Deep down you're crying.

Level 37

Oct 6, 2018

AIDS is the acronym for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Would you prefer to have to write that out in its entirety every time it appears?

Level 22

May 7, 2016

Kept typing "icon" for graven image... oh, well

Level 88

Jul 17, 2018

Icol would've fit the next clue.

Level 22

May 7, 2016

Never heard of "comic sans"

Level 56

Aug 28, 2017

Lucky you!

Level 60

Jan 4, 2021

Lucky you.

Level 47

Dec 22, 2016

I DIDNT REALISE IT WAS A CHAIN!

Level 59

Dec 30, 2016

Which is why it's called 4 Letter Word Chain!

Level 63

Mar 8, 2017

Maybe that Scottish lake clue should be rephrased to Scottish word for lake. I first thought you meant a lake in Scotland.

Level 59

Feb 11, 2020

There is only one lake in Scotland.

Level 38

Aug 28, 2017

Technically Switzerland doesn't have a capital. Bern is de facto

Level 88

Jul 17, 2018

Then the de facto of the matter is that it's the capital.

Level 84

Aug 28, 2017

The first "s" in "Comic Sans" should be capitalized. Nobody prints in "Times roman" or "Courier new". Failing to capitalize the "s" makes it a somewhat deceptive clue for anyone who doesn't immediately recognize it as the name of a font.

It would be like using "Famous Miami dolphin" as a clue. With the "d" lower-case, instead of thinking of a famous football player, you try to think of an actual aquatic animal that was somehow famous in the Miami area, like Flipper maybe.

Level 61

Aug 28, 2017

I still use Times roman- maybe I'm old fashioned. Got all the answers to this quiz right though!

Level 67

Aug 28, 2017

30/30 with 1:36 left on the clock. Damn, I'm good!

Level 48

Oct 6, 2018

2.08 left...one of the easier chains... i can't type, use 2 fingers and look at the keyboard

Level 48

Aug 28, 2017

Actually beat the average score by quite a lot. Pleasant surprise. Despite not knowing the shrek answer! Wish the site was more mobile friendly though. Difficulty scrolling up and down even on high end smartphone.

Level 69

Aug 28, 2017

Comic sans is a typeface, not a font; comic sans 12pt bold, or Times New Roman 72pt standard, would be a font.

Level 62

Aug 28, 2017

made it with 3:09 left :)

Level 80

Aug 29, 2017

each to their own, not to each their own

+11

Level 55

Aug 29, 2017

I've almost always heard it "to each their own."

Level 37

Sep 27, 2017

Actually, it should be "to each his own" - Each is singular, therefore, the noun should be also.

Level 61

Jan 21, 2022

But "each" is not necessarily a male. In fact, half of them are female.

Level 72

Apr 14, 2022

@AnnikaKim - interesting case, but the grammar rules changed rather recently. Generally, singular they only just started being recognized by mainstream linguists around 2015, and not by a majority until around 2020. Prior to that, the majority of English linguists used the masculine third person pronoun when gender was non-specific, rather than what was more common in vernacular, which was listing both the masculine and feminine pronouns with a forward slash between them, for example "his/her."

Level 43

Dec 21, 2017

Technically, comic sans is a typeface not a font. There's a difference.

Level 66

Apr 1, 2021

Why shouldn't "Dino" work for the famously extinct animal? It even fits the chain...

Level 77

Oct 27, 2021

Freddie Mercury's illness?

Really?

C'mon QM.

Is that really what he is remembered for?

Is there nothing else you could have used? I would suggest AMOS, ALAS, AIRS, AIMS, ALMS, ACES, ACTS, AGES, AGAS, APES, ARES, AXES.

Level 72

Apr 14, 2022

Some might find the clue in bad taste. Imagine if you were Freddy Mercury's sister or nephew and played this quiz. Even keeping the answer as is, I think there are plenty of other options. I'm not personally offended by this just caught a little off guard.

Level 71

Apr 14, 2022

I'm a huge Freddie Mercury fan, and while it's incredibly sad that he's no longer with us, I don't think the clue is offensive. Mercury is probably the most recognizable person who had AIDS, so if there is anyone acknowledged in a clue about AIDS, it should be him. Also, the fact that he had AIDS does not, in any way, diminish his musicianship and showmanship. He is, and always will be, primarily remembered for his life, not his death.

Level 66

Oct 27, 2021

I may or may not have read the fourth clue as "Shark's species." That's a bit embarrassing.

Level 56

Dec 15, 2021

Lol, I thought it said angler's hat and I was wondering what those were called

Level 67

Apr 14, 2022

What is “to each their own”?

Level 65

Oct 8, 2023

It's what someone says to you when they no longer care enough to keep talking about a subject. Maybe you're in an argument/debate and they yield, because they want to move on. It's commonly used and sounds acceptable to say, but it has passive aggressive undertones.

Level 59

Oct 25, 2023

~~That's not what it means, but to each their own...~~

Level 53

Apr 14, 2022

My cat says miaw

Level 70

Apr 14, 2022

can dino work for "famously extinct animal" it fits

Level 15

Apr 14, 2022

What do you look forward to the most?

Is it your birthday? Or maybe your favorite holiday? How about the day when you see Jesus? We are going to see Jesus very soon, and you better hope you're ready. Once you see Him, there will be no second chances for you. If you feel as if you aren't ready, don't be afraid. Pray to God for guidance, and read the Bible so you know how to be ready. Remember to always look forward to Jesus.

"Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."

Matthew 24:44

Level 70

Apr 15, 2022

Saw Him a few weeks back. He wasn't lookin' so hot.

Level 64

May 23, 2023

I feel like we'll either get along, or won't. I hope we do.

Level 30

May 15, 2022

Isn't the Greek god of love actually the goddess Aphrodite?

Level 43

Dec 31, 2022

She is goddess of love and beauty but think its more beauty.

Eros is "God" of love. The Roman equivalent is called Cupid. I remember cause Cupid shot arrows, sounds like Eros.

Level 32

Feb 8, 2023

I am sad it wouldn't accelt 'dark' for 'a deep shade of blue'
