utensil seems an odd word to choose. It's a very broad category applied here to a very narrow list. Wouldn't cutlery be better as the category answer rather than the also accepted answer?

House is the physical object. Home is an abstract concept - where do you come from, where do you feel safe, where do you live? While the physical structure may be part of that, it isn't necessarily the defining feature. For example, a person living in an apartment may not own a house - but they have a home.

Perspectives are funny, could not remember taking it before, definitely not commenting (though I saw I had a previous score). But after taking it just now I wanted to write a comment like;

This time not being an English native speaker held me back, umbrella did not make me think of insurances and not familiar with crabgrass/grasscrab or switch grass. Usually it is not much of a problem, even on fancy words quizzes. But I guess it is an question of exposure and not how large your vocabulary is. Still not sure if I have heard of umbrella insurance, I did try "term".

Btw both times I scored 18/20

Hedonism has nothing to do with ethics. Going about life and saying "yes" to every pleasure is neither ethical nor unethical. For ethics you need more than one person and hedonism is only about yourself, it's about how you seek to achieve happiness.

Why does the "grass" clue have four examples instead of three? The quiz description specifically says "We give you THREE examples..." That really threw me off, I assumed one of the commas had to be a typo. I was trying to guess whether the examples should be "Blue Crab, Lemon, Switch" or "Blue, Crab, Lemon Switch" or similar.

should accept cell or electric cell or voltaic cell or galvanic cell for battery. A battery, (correctly an electrical battery to distinguish it from, say, an artillery battery) is two or more cells.

It's obviously true that it's used nowadays also for individual cells so I won't argue with accepting battery. But shouldn't the correct, albeit now less frequently used, term also be accepted and, preferably be the displayed word?
