I got "Governor" but this definition certainly isn't correct for the UK.

Likewise it says "Humor" but not "Humour".

This is an enjoyable series with a very long time limit!

Thank you for your feedback. Here’s what I’ve done with it:

1. I have added the UK spelling of “humor” as a type-in. I have also made a mental note to try to remember to do this in the future. However, I am almost certain that I neglected to consider UK spelling in other existing quizzes in this series. Please feel free to post additional feedback should you encounter another instance of my negligence.

2. I have added the context to the definition of the other word. I’m not sure why I omitted it initially, as it is included in the Wiktionary definition I used for the quiz.

3. I could not tell whether you approve or disapprove of the time limit, but I cannot seem to please everyone in this regard … so I have made no changes to it. If you find yourself in a situation whereby your brains run out of answers before the time limit is reached, you can always tap or click the red “Give Up?” button to end the quiz immediately.
