	I wish some of the "Before Hints" were a just a little tougher. "octupus discharge" and "_____ my lips" are what I expect of the TV Guide crossword, not Sporcle. With short common words like that I try http://www.xwordinfo.com/Word.aspx and see if something a little cleverer can be found. Especially when there's a second hint to a related word.

	@rockgolf, thanks for the comment. It's funny, if I had made it tougher, I'd be getting the opposite comment from somebody. I thought that some of the other Add a Letter quizzes were on the more difficult side so I didn't want to make this one too tough. It's fun to take an easier quiz from time to time to boost the ol' ego. Anyone else agree with rockgolf? because I'll keep it in mind for future quizzes.

	@LTH: I agree with rockgolf AND I agree with you. It doesn't matter how you construct a quiz, it will never be to everyone's liking. I (and rockgolf, I assume) prefer the challengers, but I think we are in the minority. The less tough quizzes tend to score higher once released to the Front Page, though I think the opposite may be true in the User Created area. So, make the quiz that pleases yourself. They are good quizzes and worthy either way.

	Liked it, thank you. Not too much time for me, but I'm not a native speaker. The clue for health should read 'soundness', I believe.

Well said caramba. I agree. There is definitely room for a wide range of difficulty levels in quizzes and although I did find this one easier than most it definitely didn't stop me from enjoying it (it is somewhat ironic that it took me until the last few seconds to figure out rob given that it is my name though). When making quizzes I personally tend to try to make it fairly challenging overall but also to include some easier questions, particularly near the beginning, to help keep the interest of the more casual trivia fan. @rockgolf: Thank you so much. I have just had a quick look at the link you put in, that may prove to be nearly as helpful as the onelook.com site you told me about not too long ago - that one comment alone has saved me several hours of time already as well as (hopefully) helping to improve my quizzes, I definitely appreciate the help.

	I also wish "see" and "seeth" had been accepted in place of the gerund. great quiz!

	OilFan:	Mar 12th, 2010 at 23:31 GMT	4 points
	For the witch's facial feature, I tried "beard". Ah, Macbeth.

	omnipotent1:	Mar 12th, 2010 at 23:45 GMT	9 points
	chikka et. al., you seem to forget that degree of difficulty varies for people. I got all but one on this quiz, and I ended up using the entire time, and this despite the fact that I do two to three crosswords everyday and of varying difficulty. Some people, such as me, don't have the knack of thinking of words off the tops of our head based on a clue. So, if all quizzes appealed to your group, then a lot more people would have difficulty doing them, and probably wouldn't bother trying them to begin with. I can only assume that some people like to treat these kinds of quizzes as some sort of unofficial I.Q. test and so want it difficult so they can brag about being able to do it.

	smart_mom:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 00:05 GMT	11 points
	@dragon and Dramusic: In addition to being the wrong part of speech for the clue, "seeth" is not a word - it is spelled "seethe". I'm sure that's why the clue was written in such a way as to require the gerund form.

	supergeek1694:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 00:36 GMT	4 points
	it should be soundness not soundess.

	godpaul26:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 00:57 GMT	6 points
	This quiz was so creative! Must have taken hours to research and plug in everything. Thanks for the hard work! Keep it up! How about an add a SH sequel?!!!! Will totally nominate it.

	I'm normally not one to get all snotty about "oh, this word wasn't here" and "oh, this one shouldn't be" and stuff, but rust --> thrust comes to mind.

	Re: Quiz difficulty. I think my quizzes have gotten easier, only because when I attempt to make them challenging, by the time you get to the 3rd and 4th most common answers the % correct is already below 50. Maybe I just overestimate the average sporcler.

	@jasperwylde haha love the eddie izzard reference, and to go along with the other comments, dog got me the bonus, and i tried "thuithide" as a desperate attempt at type of bomber before getting the right answer

	sammyb:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 10:03 GMT	1 point
	I think to make this a bit more challenging you should have to enter both words, I really do

	JC3:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 15:43 GMT	-1 points
	I got all of them but the Limbaugh of radio... I still don't get it after seeing the answer. Is Linbaugh a person?

	Chris156:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 16:18 GMT	2 points
	"Burglarize"?! I think the word you're looking for is "burgle"...

	@JC3: Yes, Rush Limbaugh is a person. He is a well-known and influential conservative radio host in the United States.

	axelsonfire:	Mar 14th, 2010 at 05:00 GMT	3 points
	Great job on this quiz. Missed the "Rush" one but that's 'cause I've never heard of Rush Limbaugh.
