Good idea for a quiz, but I would think about eliminating the hints as it makes this pretty easy. Or at least having a Show/Hide option.

How do you make a show/hide option?

Move the clues around so that long hints are spread out evenly. (I really liked this quiz.)

I have it at random order. I can either make it not random order or do nothing.

Dude, way to beat me to the punch! Good job, however, you have to make the last band much longer so it looks prettier. Also, just because I won't be using them, I suggest: Nicolas Chauvin for chauvinism, Anders Dahl for Dahlia, Uziel Gal for the Uzi, Barbara Handler for Barbie and Elbridge Gerry for Gerrymander.

I already did Dahl/Dahlia, and I think Chauvin/chauvinism isn't that good.

Wow. I have a BA in physics and couldn't think of 'gal'. My brain kept yelling 'Newton! Newton!' even though that's force. :(
