Wordy Wednesday

Mar 25, 2015 | Reading

It’s back! Who has been reading this blog long enough to remember “Wordy Wednesday” quizzes? Let’s see how well you do with these – remember, don’t peek in a dictionary or Google the words until you’ve given it a good try! (You’re only cheating yourself if you do.) Share your score in the comments below, but please do NOT share the answers or hints there!

Ready? Go!

 

Holly Jahangiri

Holly Jahangiri is the author of Trockle, illustrated by Jordan Vinyard; A Puppy, Not a Guppy, illustrated by Ryan Shaw; and the newest release: A New Leaf for Lyle, illustrated by Carrie Salazar. She draws inspiration from her family, from her own childhood adventures (some of which only happened in her overactive imagination), and from readers both young and young-at-heart. She lives in Houston, Texas, with her husband, J.J., whose love and encouragement make writing books twice the fun.

      Are you looking solely at an email version of this post? If not, which browser are you using? Did you give it a few seconds to load? The quiz is served from a third-party site (I created it on Quibblo.com). It loads fine for me, but I can try troubleshooting it if you still have a problem. It probably will NOT ever load in the email version.

      Okay, that’s two – if you cannot see the quiz, tell me in comments:

      1) Are you reading this post from email only?
      2) If not (1), what browser are you using?
      3) Are you allowing a few seconds for it to display?

        It worked and I am pleased to advice you that i got 100%. Do I get a reward? Say a plate of Dhansak or some thing like that?

          If I knew what that was… um, maybe? 🙂 (Let me go Google that before I commit. And you’ll have to come collect in person.)

          Hmm. I’d never heard of Dhansak, but I make a great Adass Polo – would that do? (I could learn to make Dhansak by the time you’re ready to travel here to collect it, though.) So sure!

      Awesome! Ramana had me worried I’d made it too easy. Next week’s was going to be devilishly difficult! (You’re not supposed to be able to get them all right without Googling! But Googling is cheating. I went back to some of my old ones, from around 2009, and had forgotten the answers – it was tough! LOL)

        No Holly, it’s not “awesome”. That quiz made me feel stupid! 😛

        Well it’s not supposed to make anyone feel STUPID! I work to find hard ones. I have the advantage in making the quiz – I get to Google stuff! 🙂

        It’s supposed to be hard, fun, and teach you stuff. Now you can go impress all your friends. (Although if you keep it up, most of them will start looking at you and going, “Huh? What’d she just say?”)

    I did okay, missed one that I’m not going to mention per the rules above. Interesting challenge. 🙂

    80% – would have been 100% if I hadn’t second guessed myself on one of them. How fun! 🙂

      I try to make the answers such that they lead you to second-guess yourself. Remember that, next time. 😀

    3 out of 5 – I guess I’m the at the bottom of the bell curve!

      Doubt it. Top of the curve for those who’ll admit to their scores, maybe!
