I would like to know from native English speakers, do you know/understand/use most of the words in this quiz and others in this series?
I use every day English, but my vocabulary is of course limited compared to my native language Finnish. I have also read that English has many (near) synonyms, because there is often Germanic and Romance based word available because of history. And there are different regional variants, like for example Australian English, which has many own words. (I checked from "a" quiz word "arvo", it means 'afternoon'.)
Especially this quiz felt for me like some unknown language. There are very familiar words like "king" and "kind", but mostly I was confused by "c" vs. "k" in writing (like "cat" has "c", not "k").
For this quiz, I'd say there are 37 words I could confidently define. For the others in the series it's much closer to 50-50. This is a particularly niche set of words.
