Early on I just started using any words that rhymed with "gates". That filled in a BUNCH of letters. Sort of took the pressure off to then go back letter-by-letter. Great quiz.

Yep! First time I played it myself I had lots of "ain" or "ane" (brain, crane, drain) and then suddenly blanked on E :)

It's funny how the brain works sometimes with coming up with words!

Not strictly "-out", but you could have had "joust" which is close :)

Thanks! And yes, I figured time needs to play a factor here, since given enough time almost everybody would get 100%, so had to make it a challenge!

The current stats suggest the time is about right though.

I got most of them with only a little panic, but how was it that the only N-word I could think of (after about 30 seconds panicking) was "nexus"?! I don't even know what it means, but thank goodness it was accepted! Very stressful quiz - 5 stars

Is it possible to complete this using only words ending in 'S' (indeed, only plural nouns or 3rd person singular verbs), by the way? I tried it on my second go through and only missed 'Q' and I think one other that I can't remember - but I thought of a 'Q' one afterwards.

edit: 'X' seems to be the sticking point?

Stewart

Great! There is one X that works: Xyst (something greek or roman from the looks of Google). And thankfully the plural Xysts is allowed!

I got 25/26, and almost all of them were just four letter words with an S added to the end. Cool quiz, but I think a version of this with no plurals would make things a lot more challenging (allow more time?).

I could make variations (there could be a lot), but I think it's more interesting / easier for users to impose those restrictions on themselves and to replay the quiz :)

The only variation I was considering making would be removing any word in the 10,000 most common words or something like that.

There are Wordle knock-offs that suffer similar pains to wrangle s-ending plurals. It's a surprising amount of work curating a word bank. Interestingly, Wordle allows for 10,000+ words that can be guessed (many of them plurals), but there are only ~2000 words that work as answers.

Even though this quiz isn't trying to be Wordle or even a knockoff of it (despite the quiz's photo on the featured page), maybe those word lists can help you out down the line.

The problem with using another source like Wordle is that it's harder to be succinct about what constitutes a word. Scrabble is kind of the "standard" for that, even if it includes some weird words.

100% this!! I can't imagine many other ways that a reasonable human being would have much practice recalling words that have exactly five letters.

Now, an unreasonable human being, on the other hand... that's where I come in

In the four-letter quiz, I got most of them by inserting "-eal" after the letter.

In this one, I did the same, except added an S to the end

How did you make this quiz, if you mind me asking? I'm attempting to do something similar (500+ possible answers for one question) but adding type-ins limits me to only 10 per question.

Thanks in advance!
