Really nice idea for a quiz, but you really should include more synonyms for the answers e.g. tried everyday words for the "dust sucker" and "cool closet" before finally thought to type the longer formal form

I added some synonyms, including some for the ones you mentioned. Thank you for the feedback!

Same, I tried the British terms for things (fridge, hoover) and they didn't work - ladybird did though, so thank you for accepting that :)

If you haven't already got it (apologies if you have, I didn't guess this answer so I'm not sure) but "styrofoam" is known as "polystyrene" here if that helps ^_^

It doesn't. Nor do fridge or hoover.

I kind of forgot to resubmit the quiz, so that's why it didn't work. It should now though!

Is refrigerator misspelled? Or is the way I spelled it purely American or something
