It also doesn't get hard enough. Also way too many of the words are just words about long words, or the tendency to be verbose.

- thenthenthen 3mo agoLol. Yeah. Non native here but gave up at about 50 words. Too many words, too easy. And my English SUCKS
- haswell 3mo agoIf you gave up at 50, that means you skipped the difficult words.
- 2dvisio 3mo agoAgree. Complexity for me skyrocketed towards the end
- tengwar2 3mo agoYes - a very marked step rather than a gradual increase, I thought.
- thenthenthen 3mo agoTrue. I tried a few more times. There is just so much wrong with the design. First 90 words super easy and then super hard? Why not random? Why is the longest description the correct one? Why so many? Why 3 clicks?
- alentred 3mo ago> It also doesn't get hard enough Oh come on! Like you really knew what "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" is?
- iugtmkbdfil834 3mo ago:D I did better than expected, but I did miss that one. I learned some fun ones.
- readthenotes1 3mo agoBased on only missing that one, it figured out. I knew 83,000 words. That seems unsupportable
- shdon 3mo agoI thought that one was pretty well known. But then, I can also rattle off Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch at will.
- NopIdoN 3mo agoBut why? say what you like about antidisestablishmentarianism; at least it's an ethos
- shdon 3mo agoSomebody obviously coined the word as a self-referential joke. And somehow it stuck. That makes it memorable. Speaking of things that stick... arachibutyrophobia is the feat of getting peanut putter stuck to the roof of your mouth. (I admit I had to look that one up, as it's not nearly as memorable, though I knew the word existed).
- gerdesj 3mo agoThey are Welsh? I too can say it and I'm very English...ish. LlanPG is a tourist attraction and a great example of an amateur advertising idea smashing it!
- Animats 3mo agoThat's round 2 of England's established church problems. Not as bad as round 1, where the Catholic church was violently disestablished by Henry VIII so he could divorce his wife. Cromwell told the Catholics they could go "to hell or to Carna". I've been to Carna. It's bleak. It's hard to disestablish a religion. Too many people believe. In Russia, the Russian Orthodox Church came back after Communism went down. Now Putin uses it to reinforce his rule.
- philipwhiuk 3mo agoIt does get hard enough but only in the very last fraction. Zenzizenzizenzic for example.
- JumpCrisscross 3mo agoIf I had to write out the definition, I’d have been screwed. The recursive structure of the word makes it out as a child’s word or something from mathematics. Given where it is in the game, that left one answer out of the four.
- dgellow 3mo agoLevel 5 grandmaster was hardcore!
- suzzer99 3mo agoHow jejune of you.
- magicalhippo 3mo agoI got zeitgeist, panacea and obfuscate on Level 5... wut? Some at Level 4 was definitely a lot more obscure than those.
- IshKebab 3mo agoIt gets impossible. Yarborough is apparently not a town in England. I guess technically it's a village but come on...
