whenever I run out of words I know, I make new ones.

This was my result. I am clueless who Stephen Fry is.

SCIENTIFIC ESTIMATE 74,000 words "Unbelievable. Are you actually Stephen Fry in disguise?"

You mastered 93 new words! THE VERDICT

You are a person of few words, or perhaps just a mysterious one. Quite intriguing. REQUIRED READING

Read the dictionary from A to Z. It's a gripping tale with a terrible plot.

Ignoring the validity of the test, one of the more strange things I noticed is that apparently native English speakers only have a total vocabulary of 15k to 35k words? I probably live in a bubble, but that seems profoundly low.

"How much time would you be willing spend on a poll just for the ego boost of being told your vocabulary is large?"

... got 95. Can't believe there's a word for a neighbor whose house is on fire.

> You know 60000 words, that’s not a lot, go back to reading the dictionary

Goes to the about section: an average native speaker knows 35000 words.

Ah yes, the classic British insult, should have known it.

The triple click is annoying.

I mean, select the word, then press check, then press continue.

It could be one single click and move to the next, show me my last result at the same time you ask me for the next one.
