My suspicion is that (at least for most of those people) they just ran out of time before they got to that one and so it was automatically marked wrong.
The words appear in randomized order every time you take the quiz, so it's quite plausible to me that it would appear in the last 2 or 3 (or whatever) words for enough people who also went sufficiently slowly through the first 16-17, to make up a good portion of that 9%.*
Plus a few that just weren't paying close attention.
Yea that would be the reason for nearly everyone that got that one wrong. But that theory doesn't work for misspelled, which has nearly 50%! I mean the word is right beneath it to check for those that aren't sure haha. I guess it shows how easily mistakes are made (when put under pressure) because I think most people that got it wrong do actually know the correct spelling
How do you GET to level infinity?
I never saw the word playwright, therefore I thought it was misspelt. This way I got 18/20
It's "Mediterranean."

* (Actually 8% now, as I take the quiz.)
