	I like the idea. I just didn't follow your train of thought on all of them. [:

	I also think that "frontstroke" or "butterfly" should be allowed for 'One way to swim.' (I realise "butterfly" is debatable.)

	angst could be allowed for 'teenage sensation' ... as in 'teenage angst'

	In British English an 'eighth note' is called a 'quaver', so maybe the definition should be changed. Also, maybe make clear that it's 4 /or more/ consecutive consonants, because a lot of these have 5.

	I guessed pretty much every variation of "tchotchke" possible. Bah.

	I agree you need clearer definitions, but a good concept that just needs more development. Don't be afraid to go longer for your clues, or use something other than strictly dictionary definitions. For example "Swimming while looking up" for backstroke. Veal cutlet is the raw meat. "Veal cutlet" is a weak clue for Schnitzel, since that is generally the German word, not English. But throw in breadcrumbs and fry it and you've got Weiner Schnitzel which is more familiar. Also, the "w" in Crwth is a vowel pronounced as "U", so it doesn't belong in the puzzle.

	Borscht is disgusting. lol

	I like the idea, but it felt cheap with all the compound words here.

	Nietzsche could be a bonus.

	Shotgunnova:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 08:14 GMT	1 point
	Good quiz. I should've gotten schnitzel though. =/

	lalalala:	Oct 13th, 2009 at 00:53 GMT	2 points
	you might say frontstroke IF frontstroke were actually a stroke...it's either front crawl or freestyle. Also, in butterfly, Y is functioning as a vowel.

	You should accept cellphone for the last one (!). Good quiz.

	It's much more common to use the word nanometer instead of millimicron.

	fm_:	Nov 1st, 2009 at 08:09 GMT	1 point
	Millimicron is a bit odd; it's kind of like saying millicentimeter. On the other hand it's kind of fun trying to figure out what you mean there.

	This tips should help you streNGTHen the quiz. Sorry, I'll go now.

	My sandwich wasn't in my lunchbox, it was in my lunchkit. Oops, sorry, it was in both. Good idea for a quiz.

	lunchsack, lunchbag...

	crwth should be removed - too obscure in my opinion. Love the idea of this game.

	doctorwhofan883:	Jul 2nd, 2011 at 20:54 GMT	1 point
	"Crwth" is technically incorrect because the W is being used as a vowel. Also, just as a bonus answer, could you add "inchworth" for "What a ruler measures?" I know it's not a word, but that was my first thought.
