Glad you liked it! See the link above for more of the general quizzes in the series, and a 500-word random vocabulary quiz. I may do some more of these 'genius' level ones at some time. After doing the random one, I was rather braindead from vocab, so needed a break...

I got 6 which actually beat 93%! Wow and english isnt even my native language. I expected the average to be a bit higher, atleast 10. I got bruxism, kareteka, lollygagging, undine, paraph and xenopholia.

And I made the following up: arguseyed, gnawing/gnashing (-ers), monogonad(s, -ic)/monocojones, nacho-red, orrologeum/orratoreum (and several similar things that sound real/familiar), seration (not interesting), young and zenithology (I think zenology and 1 or 2 other things aswell)

A lot of these sounds realistic and or fitting to me. My favorite was monocojonic :D unfortunately no luck with them (though in case of the nachos I was pretty sure it wasnt gonna be right ;) )

In hindsight I know of effable and orrery. Vicinal makes sense (vicinity) and I think I actually have heard of monorchid once (and maybe even looked it up, the word that is, but guess it didnt stick well enough) besides gnathic and winebibber I would have no idea what the rest would be about if I had only seen those words.

Oooo wait canticleer suddenly made a wild cluck hah typo!! Click, I was looking at the list of answers and upon reading that word (allready forgetting which description went with it). I suddenly got an image of a rooster !! I can see it clearly. I dont know where I am getting this from, either a cartoon or school haha. And courtly love stuff comes to mind, in which case it would ve been school..

I ll have to look it up now.

I'm over the moon with 13/26.

This one is so full of obscure words that it reminds me of the Readers' Digest word quiz, which was called "It pays to increase your word power".
