I enjoyed some of the incorrect options. For "Debilitate" one of the options was "Remove a bill from the tab".

multiple choice is a cheat. the real test is whether you can define the word without seeing a menu of options to pick from.

Cute, but for strange words clicking the longest explanation turned out to be akmost always rhe correct one :)

I think that this needs an application of Bayes Rule against the ¼ chance I guessed and got it right by luck.

A quirk of LLM generated MCQs is that in the majority of cases, the longest option is the right one.

Not native English speaker (Norwegian), score: 55500.

But many of the hard words were quite similar to more common words we have here.

81,250 97/100 without being a native speaker. Although truth be told only because I figured out how to guess well.

59,400 - It said I'm a person of few words. It also recommended I read a dictionary. I feel some kind of way about that. :D

Fun!

As a fluent native speaker who has read thousands of books and sometimes reads dictionary entries for fun, a number of these definitions are actually slightly off.

"Verbose," for instance, is defined as "Using more words than are needed."

That's not exactly wrong, but it's kind of misleading. "Verbose" explicitly means using a large pile of words, drowning the reader in far more words than are strictly necessary.

"More words than are needed" could be as limited as "used a three-word construction in a sentence where it could have been one."

There are many more like this.

Please, I beg all of you - don't use LLMs to generate linguistic slop that claims to be linguistic education.

I weep for the world that is to come.

I had no idea there was an English word specifically to describe throwing someone out of a window. Defenestrate.
