Dear Mr. K,
Good show - I should have posted this site myself weeks ago. A friend sent it to me and I've been going there daily ever since.
But be warned; it's highly addictive.
Regards,
John

Maybe too challenging for ESL/EFL students, but very interesting all the same. Level 49.

I've hit level 50 several times. Never for very long though and it took a few (semi-)educated guesses to get me there. Still, +10 e-vocab-peen Smile

Absolutely. Old Latin student...and one of the words -- cachinnation -- I learned from one of my Chinese students, who had found it in one of their electronic dictionaries.

I have to go back and see if I can make it to 50.

I only got to 45 my first time, with several semi-educated guesses (plus my knowledge of Spanish helped a bit). It's definitely addictive -I'll be back.

Yes, Virginia, there is a level 50


VOCAB LEVEL: 50
YOUR BEST LEVEL: 50

In fact, there's a level 55

VOCAB LEVEL: 55
YOUR BEST LEVEL: 55

Eight years of Latin and two of ancient Greek helped, not to mention some lucky guesses.
But you don't want to know how long it took.
Regards,
John
