Getting "Obfuscate" as #99 and "Quixotic" as #100 made me feel exorbitantly smart.

I like how it tests whether I know 170k words by requiring me to click on 170k words 3 times each

Only got 63,150 words. Considering English is the 3rd language I learned, I think I did pretty well.

Picking max(len(answer)) is the right choice almost every time at the higher level..

Needs keyboard support ASAP. Using the mouse for something like this is a waste of time.

I ran through it twice, first time 91 second time 90, score: 69,500. Midwit confirmed.

Weird. I got 87/100 and my score was 71,900.

I fumbled the Advanced at 14/20, but got 17/20 on each of the last 2 sections.

On my first run I aced all of the sections until the last and then I got some really weird ones (e.g. zenzizenzizenzic). When I ran it again I got 95% new words and I fumbled a couple in the earlier rounds but did a bit better on the final section.

No cheating, only one or two guesses both rounds in the final section. No idea how the scoring works.

Major flaw in the quiz: you can do great by just picking the longest definition.

The option with more words appears to be the correct answer for each question.

My native language Spanish, it actually helps with words like tergiversate, got 55,900.

Almost every correct answer is a longer string than the other multiple choice options.
