A word I didn't know, to share:

hachure - map shading line.

 

[ESquared]

My vocabulary breaks down at about level 47. Before that, I got all words. After that, I can puzzle out about 1/2 and the rest I just plain don't know. So this web site is good for building vocabulary, too.

[kjv1611]

I think I'm a 35ish on that thing. It's fun and challenging.
I'm assuming you just keep going until you just want to quit.

[rjoubert]

I got 200!!! Oh wait...that was the grain count.
I'm a 35ish also.

 

[strongm]

Looks like 45 is about my limit

 

[ESquared]

Oh... hey... this isn't MAI.

After resetting, I did miss a word at level 42. Then it settled around 45. 47 was evidently a fluke.

(Gay pareee is elsewhere right now, and that suits me just fine for now)

I scored 39. I got stuck on diadem. I tried using it in a sentence such as:

Mother: "What happened to the cookies?!?"
Son: "Diadem!"

Thank Jeff Foxworthy for the influence.

 

[p5wizard]

As a 3rd language English-speaker, I'm pretty pleased with my 41-score...

p5

 

[pinkgecko]

Most of my correct answers at 35+ were based on knowledge of the words' roots or on similiar words in other languages, so I'm not surprised someone with a better knowledge of various languages did well on it. There was only a handful of words that I've ever heard in normal speech; the rest are somewhat to completely unused. Fun to figure out though.

I just got a network error when i was on 38

I'm crazy or something. This IS MAI!

Word roots definitely come into play for staying at level 44/45.

diadem = crown

 

[kjv1611]

Ahh, that's one I'd actually know right away!

"bring forth the royal diadem, and crown him Lord of all."
That's from "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name", also known as "The Coronation Hymn"

A handful of those words I was able to know from sources such as that.
