This would be a cool series, unfortunatly the very short timer creates a lot of pressure, especially for non native speakers who have to think about some of the words, which makes it much less enjoyable. The aim of these quizzes should be to find the pairs rather than doing so and guessing half of it at the end cause you only have four minutes.

Its easy to get carried away with the timer while making these, cause you now all the answers beforehand and only have to find it among the rest while you know already what it is, but you gotta remember new players have to read each and every word and check for a possible pair. I would say eight to ten minutes seem only fair

If you enjoy these quizzes, but are frustrated by the timer, you can always turn the timer off by clicking or tapping the clock icon that displays to the right of the timer.

Good luck!
