Tried that one, didn't work. Figured out it didn't accept bit multiples and moved on... turns out it didn't accept just this one.

May I recommend that "shvitz" be accepted? Once I had that one in my head, all the other ones flew away.

Level 65

May 15, 2023

I tried schvitz too. Just looked and it appears to be in the Scrabble dictionary.

Oh for the love, I thought it said "Six letters and ENDS in EAR" so I spent a whole minute wondering why linear wouldn't work. 😶

Is it a problem that my mind went to awful, agony, harsh and arson almost immediately? for numbers 2, 3, 5, and 7?

Level 72

I had awful, agony, hatch and bison I believe.

"Yiddish loan word, ends in Z" is badly phrased; I thought it meant a Yiddish word meaning loan.

Level 78

"Loan word" is a commonly-used term for a word borrowed from another language.

Level 72

Jan 8, 2020

Wow, Im one of the 2,8% that got them all and english isnt even my language!

wasted quite a bit of time on the tree. I read started and ends with b so tried baobab, which it didnt accept, retyped it 4 times then changed the spelling eventhough I was pretty sure I typed it correctly. Then reread the question and saw it only had to begin with a b so gave an easier answer (beech or birch) was surprised to see baobab actually show up in the list! I guess I did spell it wrong initially. And with alternate spelling spelled it wrong again? But thinking I did the opposite of what I did initially, so thought if the first time wasnt right this way should.. (oa-ao) . Could have had more than a minute left otherwise, now 40 sec

Level 73

Would 'hawkbit' (a type of dandelion) be valid for the 'seven letter word ending in "bit"' question? Tried it but it wasn't accepted. Likewise 'bay' for the trees beginning with B.

Level 36

May 5, 2020

This is an English language quiz. Why is there a Hebrew/Jewish word in there that unless you are Jewish/Israeli or North American it is highly unlikely that you will know those words.

I don't think it's that unreasonable? Have you never heard the word Klutz before?

Level 28

Feb 18, 2023

Kibbitz? Am I the only one who spells this with a double b?

Level 51

Apr 21, 2023

For the one with Q as the second letter, the list says "ohers", instead of "others". Doesn't affect quiz play, but it would look better spelled correctly.
