I tried many different things for aviophobia, and I knew what it was, but plane, planes, aeroplane, aeroplanes, airplane, and airplanes wouldn't work. Out of sheer desperation I tried birds.

Level 35

I tried birds first as they are known as avians

Could you please accept 'man' for androphobia?

Wow, I got everything right first time! Including a brilliant guess for Chorophobia.

Needle and sickness phobia's are also common phobia'a. Although I haven't a clue what the medical term is for either of them.

Glossophobia was the only one I couldn't deduce. Once fear of "shiny paint" didn't work, I knew I was done for.

Good quiz, I tried 'Man' and 'Mankind' before 'Men' for 'Androphobia.

Level 73

Jun 18, 2019

Mankind would be wrong, it is the fear of adult men, as in males. Not the fear of humans

Level 79

Good, maybe also disallow 'Tallin' for Tallinn, 'St George' for St George's, 'Kingston' for Kingstown, and 'Sana' for Sanaa?

Level 81

Jun 22, 2018

That would also make it sound like you were afraid of tall people, not being up high (heights)

Level 65

If androphobia is a thing, surely gynophobia would also be a thing?

It is! People of both sexes can have either one.

I have Necrophobia and Hypochondria and no my life isn't easy. Constantly worrying.

anatidaephobia- the fear of ducks watching you. Look it up, it's a real thing

Level 73

Jun 18, 2019

:D I do have that with some other animals, not the fear though, but man I have pigeons (turtledoves) in my tree and ones of them seems obsessed he cant stop staring at me ! Also blackbirds can look at you quite intensly.

And when a dragonfly lands on me it seems like he is keeping an eye on me but it is hard to see due to his multifaceted eyes.

And the jumping spider he is soooo cool, the keep track of you and always move so you stay in its sight, I find them really cute haha

Level 51

Jun 22, 2018

Agoraphobia could mean fear of crowds, not just open places. It literally translates "fear of the market (place)".

Level 92

Jun 22, 2018

trypophobia - Fear of holes in ones body. I have this (google it!)

Level 73

Jun 18, 2019

That is the one I meant in an earlier comment. But I believe it is about holes in general, just a lot of them close to eachother, like honeycombs would set them off too

Level 36

It's just called Trumpism now.

still true, unfortunately.

Level 91

Jun 22, 2018

How about luposlipaphobia? The fear of being pursued by timber wolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly waxed floor.

Level 65

Jun 22, 2018

For xenophobia, you should accept other cultures or even just cultures.

Level 73

Jun 18, 2019

no cause xeno means strange/ foreign.. Xenotransplantation is when you get the organ of an animal. it does not really have anything to do with people or culture, it can be foreign cells, things that are alien to the body.

But yes today foreign (really just meaning outside) and alien (meaning other) are words used more in polictics than in any other place.

Level 75

"Do you think you have pantophobia, Charlie Brown?"

YOu should accept Technologies for Technology. I would also think Computer should be an acceptable answer as that is commonly used as a definition

My kids always choose the number 13 for their football and hockey shirts.

Level 37

Jun 26, 2018

From hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian, an extension of sesquipedalian with monstrum ‎(“monster”‎) and a truncated, misspelled form of hippopotamus (intended to exaggerate the length of the word itself and the idea of the size of the words being feared),

Level 42

Jun 26, 2018

Got them all.

Well, it helps that I'm Greek! :p

Level 73

Jun 28, 2018

I think gymnophobia should include the fear of gym class. Seriously, how many of us hated changing to our gym clothes in the locker room? (I just hated gym class - period.) And think how great it would sound in a note from Mom: "Please excuse my child from gym class due to his gymnophobia." The kid would be the envy of all his friends! LOL

Level 48

Apr 26, 2024

The word gymnasium is taken from the greek word for naked. Ancient athletes used to train naked.

I really think a great clue for JetPunk would be

Phobia of being wrong

Atychiphobia

Level 28

May 8, 2020

You should add Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, the fear of 666

Level 70

Jun 24, 2020

You should add Phobaphobia, the fear of fears.

Level 78

Oct 4, 2020

I feel like apiphobia is pretty rare. Most people afraid of bees are likely allergic to, or don't know whether or not they're allergic to, bees. At that point, it is no longer a phobia because the fear is rational

Level 75

Nov 18, 2020

Hmm, never thought about it like that. So the fact that my daughter has been afraid of bees ever since she was repeatedly stung after driving the lawnmower over a bumblebee nest is a rational fear rather than a phobia? She doesn't even like to go fishing at our pond because we have honeybee hives along the dam. I think at some point her fear becomes irrational or phobic if she allows it to interfere with daily activities, but you still made an interesting point.

Agoraphobia is not just simply a fear of open spaces. It’s going into places with a bunch of people, being up in front of people; places that make someone fear something could go wrong in front of an “audience.”

Level 80

May 27, 2022

From looking it up briefly, it appears that agoraphobia can be about anything that might make a person feel unsafe and unable to find safety. Open spaces are very often related to this because there’s a lack of shelter from anything that might cause anxiety.

Level 79

May 27, 2022

Not necessarily. Agoraphobia is about being somewhere where one feels unsafe, and lacking control. This can mean open spaces, crowds, new/unfamiliar places, public transit, traveling in general, etc. The type of social embarrassment you describe can compound the issue, but isn't a necessary part of it. This is why agoraphobics might be fine with people coming over to their own house (a place they feel safe and in control), but not okay being out alone somewhere unfamiliar.

Level 51

Nov 18, 2020

Erik Satie’s Gymnopedies came in clutch for me. We’re not going to talk about what the rest of the word means.

Level 59

Nov 18, 2020

Please accept the answers without the "S" as in Spider for Spiders and Height for heights. Jetpunk never gave much attention to plurality. And may also accept computer for Technophobia?

Level 75

Nov 18, 2020

What's the phobia of phobias called?

Level 63

Nov 18, 2020

phobophobia

Level 79

Nov 18, 2020

Reminds me of Roger Ebert's review of Friday the 13th where he says: 'In my research I discovered that the scientific name for fear of Friday the 13th is paraskavedekatriaphobia. I envision a new franchise: "Paraskavedekatriaphobia: A New Beginning," "Paraskavedekatriaphobia: Jason Lives," "Paraskavedekatriaphobia: Freddy's Nightmare," etc.'

Level 71

I tried farming for agoraphobia.

Level 67

Nov 18, 2020

I don't really have any of these, but I do have trypophobia.

Level 51

Nov 19, 2020

I have Agoraphobia. Also Technophobia. But, mind you, not a fear of technology in my case (how do you think I'm typing this comment), but actually a fear of advancing tech. I don't dislike it, I actually fear it.

Level 45

Nov 21, 2020

I'm surprised there is no Ophidiophobia (Fear of snakes), Coulrophobia (Fear of clowns) nor Trypophobia (Fear of holes). All of those are more common then some listed here.

Level 83

Mar 1, 2021

Chorophobia as in choreography. I learned this today. Also Terpsichore, the muse of dance, leading to the adjective terpsichorean..

Level 24

YOU FORGOT

Tropophobia I have tropophobia Fear of small holes

You mean trypophobia? I doubt it's so much that they forgot, and more like there's only so much room on this quiz and many hundreds of phobias.

You forgot Sporcleophobia

Level 59

Could you please accept "programming interfaces" for apiphobia?

I'm sure, there are a lot of people who are afraid of... what the heck is the plural of api? ... apis? sounds weird...

You forgot a Jetpunkers greatest fear: Quizmasterbanningmephobia and Stewartbanningmephobia

Level 65

Nov 2, 2021

I have kidpoolandhottubphobia. Obviously, it is a fear of pools and hot tubs where little kids tend to camp (kind of hypocritical, speaking that I’m a kid my self). I also have deadbugsinpoolphobia, though I love live bugs and I love swimming. Something about the fact that your just swimming around in somewhere with little bodies is just creepy. That might be also part of my kidpoolandhottubphobia, there’s a lot of bugs in those.

Agoraphobia just makes me think of the brother from benchwarmers.

Level 59

Dec 13, 2022

I personally have thanatophobia or the fear of death.

More specifically the thought of what may come after death. Talking about my fears usually doesn't trigger a reaction but sometimes without warning I just suddenly become very aware of my mortality and barely come out of my room for hours.

Level 42

Apr 19, 2023

Can you maybe add Coulrophobia (fear of clowns) and scotophobic (fear of darkness)? If i'm not mistaking, they are more common than most appeared on the list.

May 21, 2024

Knew only 4, but guessed 11 based on the greek/latin(?) roots and 2 more with random guesses of what people are afraid of = 17/18 (only one, I didn't get, was fear of bees)

Level 69

Mar 26, 2025

Today i learnt 2 more phobias that is quite...interesting. I did not know fear of men was a thing, only women...And open spaces? Do these people not dare to go outside or do they bring a portable room with them? I am generally curious.

Level 72

May 15, 2025

Kenophobia is the fear of open spaces. Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder usually categorized by a fear of unfamiliar settings.

Level 49

May 19, 2025

Maybe accept "confined spaces" for claustrophobia?
