I found this quiz on my Facebook feed via Mental Floss. You're given a five-letter word with one letter missing. Only one letter will complete the word, and each letter of the alphabet can only be used once.
But beware. You only have 1:30 minutes to complete...
Complete the 5-Letter Words
It took me three tries to get to 100%. The first time I got 73%. I missed one, and I ran out of time. The second time I got up to 80%, again missing one and running out of time. It goes quickly.
Try it. Some of the words are obvious. Some are a bit more tricky. Good luck.
Hi Liz - I was hopeless .. couldn't get used to the keyboard! Some were very obvious, one or two I couldn't work out ... but still a brief interlude .. thank you! Cheers and have a good weekend - Hilary
ReplyDeleteOK 1 did it 3 times-1st I got 73%, second 80% and last 96%
ReplyDeleteNice.
DeleteGee, I don't know, it didn't open for me. I clicked on the Open Floss link, and either my computer is acting up or ... I don't know. Sounds like fun, though.
ReplyDeleteSorry. A quiz of theirs acted up for me earlier in the week, too. You could try back another day.
DeleteWell phooey, it doesn't seem to work for me at work. Probably just as well - it would probably drive me NUTS!
ReplyDeleteProbably. Sorry it didn't work for you.
DeleteI got 24/26. The only two I missed were tuque, which I forgot was even a word, and sucre, which I never heard of except as a name.
ReplyDeleteI did horrible lol
ReplyDeleteToo bad. It is a bit of a challenge.
DeleteI terrible at this sort of game for some reason. Fun to try though.
ReplyDeletePractice... Well, if it was anything other than a time waster...
DeleteNO....NO.....No....I suck at that.
ReplyDeleteAw, too bad.
DeleteI've been having issue with my lap top but I love games like this, even if I'm terrible.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
That's too bad. I've had issues with quizzes of theirs, too, so it might be them, not you.
DeleteI got 46%. It started out easy and then it became hard!
ReplyDeletebetty
I kept running out of time so I gave it the heave-ho.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it could have given us 30 more seconds.
DeleteThat actually was pretty hard. Took me a few tries.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteOh wow. I was spectacularly bad at that. lol
ReplyDelete43% the first time. I needed to pick up the pace. 83% the second time.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it goes quick.
DeleteI was terrible at it. Clearly don't know enough words!
ReplyDeleteI got 50% my first try, then 70%, then gave up and looked at the answers. It was fun, though. Some I couldn't believe I missed!
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious when you're looking at the answers. Without answers, not so much.
