14/15. I turned off the timer, so maybe not feeling its pressure made me do better. “Tergiversate” was totally new to me, and my wild guess was wrong. LikeLiked by 3 people
JM, That was one of the few words that I guessed correctly. I have no idea if I had ever heard of the word before. This was not one of my better quiz results. LikeLiked by 1 person
8/15. Not too good although I should have been more careful hitting the link…have a great Friday Pat! LikeLiked by 1 person
Some of the words were tricky and the timer made it more difficult. Thanks for playing Francisco. LikeLiked by 2 people
Took my time. Again I recognized words that I can’t keep the definition in my head and there were also new-to-me words. I might try it again. 🙂 LikeLiked by 1 person
I like to take these quizzes with the timer on. It’s more exciting that way. Anyhow, I got 8/15, another hard one. Wow, Audrey rocked it! LikeLiked by 1 person
I don’t use it that often because it makes me look like I made a good decision – and THAT rarely happens! LikeLike
Quite difficult. I got 9/15 today. Some of those are words I use fairly often myself; others I’ve rarely seen. LikeLiked by 1 person
Phew, yes a tricky one there Pat, but fun. A round 10. Shame there were 15 questions. If there were only 10 I’d have got full marks! 🙂 LikeLiked by 1 person
