Hope somebody can look into to it for future games.

Cheers

Sorry I didn't realise that someone else had already posted these.

I would say that something is up...

I got this one, and was confused, but I guess I should count myself lucky that I only got one of these in my set.

Everything stated or assumed in a given discussion
Your answer: diffusor
diffuser means "everything stated ..."
The correct answer was universe
Bother!

Hmm definitely looks like a bug. Will close the game for a few mins while I track it down.

Ok, think I found it. Will put changes in for the new hour, and monitor to make sure it all looks sensible.

Thanks, Terry! It worked fine for me a minute ago.

Thanks Terry

I will dip my toe back in the WW water now

That's funny, because I got the close shave, and was marked right on it.

15. Unsatisfactoriness
Your answer: merchandise that is shoddy or inferior

merchandise that is shoddy or inferior is the definition for "dreck"

The correct answer was the quality of being adequate or suitable


Either this answer is wrong, or I did a lot better in school that I thought when I was being told my performance was unsatisfactory.

11. Jargon

Your answer: lan suitable for grazing livestock

lan suitable for grazing livestock is the definition for "rangeland"

The correct answer was a colorless (or pale yellow or smoky) variety of zircon

For 'rangeland' - 'lan suitable for' should be 'land suitable for', of course.

Happy WW Typo Trivia!

I don't know what the word is, but I ran across "obscene terms for female genitals" as a wrong answer.

This was another incorrect answer, I think something's missing: southern variety is the definition for "canebrake_rattlesnake".

Thanks, toasted a whole set of genitalia nicknames. lol. didn't realize there were so many!

14. A very evil man

Your answer: judas

judas means "a one-way peephole in a door"

The correct answer was hellhound

I don't get it. Can someone help me out?

What's the problem? A judas is a peephole in a door and a hellhound is a fiend or very evil person.

Of course the judas does take its name from the Biblical Judas but if it had meant him, his name would have been capitalised.

Anybody else having really slow loading times? Or is it just my network? Word Wizard was by far the slowest of the last dozen pages.

Obviously, the problem is that I didn't know I'm an idiot. Thanks for letting me know...

It seems both of these definitions are missing word(s):

-----

-----

6. Used also in making gasoline components

Amoebiosis is an obsolete variant of amebiasis. Whether to leave obsolete words in the game is a question.

Happy WW Obsolete Trivia!

3. Woolly_alder_aphid

Your answer: attacks alders

Another incomplete but obvious entry.

Happy WW Trivia!

2. Tropical Africa to Australasia and Polynesia

Your answer: climbing bird's nest fern

A typical incomplete plant definition.

Your answer: tweet

The word 'week' should be 'weak', obviously.
