My high school French was a big help with guessing (hooray for multiple choice), also all the weird historical medieval novels I read as a youth, so I recognize the names of the parts of armor for battle horses, for example.

If you play it long enough, you will begin to see a few of the same words. Then you actually learn them if you didn't know them already. Every high school English teacher should promote this site!
