I love this, just goes to prove how insane English is, I mean the was we pronounce the shortened word and the word with the first letter are sometimes vastly different. Great quiz
Good quiz, only issue is that you can just type in every letter of the alphabet until you get it right if you don't know it. That's unfixable, but whatever
Uh...what would be the point? You're taking a quiz by yourself to test yourself. Just beating an anonymous test by yourself is a time waster, better off to go read something and learn in those few minutea.
Couldn't figure out what to put before ROAD, and when I saw BROAD at the end, I thought, "Broad?? [Rhyming it with road] What the heck kind of word is broad?!......oHHHHHHH. Broad ['brahd']. Riiight."
Not sure why this quiz isn't rated higher, it's very good! Maybe because it's tough for some people? If I can't think of the answer right away, I just run down the alphabet until I find something that sounds like a word. There's more than enough time for trial and error as long as you only have to do it for a couple of words.
Pretty tricky! Also puts it into perspective how random English can be, with how pronouncing the word can change COMPLETELY with the addition or subtraction of just one letter (laughter and slaughter especially got me there, took me a bit to figure it out)
Twas nice, but I thought there was too much time. I ended up getting a perfect score since you can actually keep keying in, and then deleting letters, until one got through.
Found it quite easy, got em all immediately besides 4 I didnt know. Maybe in this case not being english actually helps? You are less stuck in seeing a word a certain way.
I must admit. The last three where I had know clue I tried random things. So got 100%
I know it is another word for puppy, but for me, growing up in the upper south of the US,it also meant the same thing as "welt". As in, "That branch swung back and hit me in the face and made a big whelp on my cheek," or, "My face whelped up when that branch hit it." I still hear it used that way in my area.
I'm guessing the scrabble dictionary was used, as is customary on jetpunk. Unfortunately a good portion of the words in that dictionary I have never uttered once in my life, nor heard another speak them.
Good quiz!
"Mistaking my instructions,
Which within my brain did gyrate,
I took and bound this promising boy
Apprentice to a pirate."
