It's real.

Level 49 is my highest. FAQ

UPDATE: I'm addicted.

10:58 p.m. I did it! I hit 50! The word was agon.

I throw down the gauntlet. Who can (honestly) match that? For a good cause.

is it cheating if one looks up the words in a dictionary before answering ;-)

Yes! (I was tempted, though.)

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!

You clobbered me, I topped out at 43.

Keep playing and you'll learn some of them. Though what use it is to know stuff like this I don't know...

tarantism = urge to dance
pollex= thumb
pennate = winged
duiker = antelope
pleasance = secluded garden
osculation = kiss
bezant = gold coin
charlock = wild mustard
paraph = flourish after signature
