	@Slayer42: Apparently it's another term for the constellation Pisces, http://www.thefreedictionary.com/fishes

	I think 3 minutes is too long for unscrambling 15 words. I also think this type of quiz is much harder to put together than it is to play - as far as i can see there are no other valid unscrambles for any of these.

	Fishes is a verb. He fishes every day. I think you can use fishes as a plural although we usually just say fish. I liked this one. It shows that we don't always bother with the middle letters when we read.

	@ezois. I think you can't use fishes as a plural, hence why we just say fish. Also hence why some people deliberately do use fishes as a plural noun.

	@climber_v12: Fishes can be used as a plural when talking about more than one species of fish (e.g., "Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea") and in certain idioms (e.g., "sleep with the fishes").

	@ JLKeip I can see why 3 minutes would be too long for a native English speaker. But I found this one quite challenging. But it's always fun to learn new words so I dont mind not finishing it in time. And what is "forego"? Is it a combination of for and go? Or is it something entirely different. (I read it pronounced as "foreego" the first time I read it.)

	Forego means to skip something -- I'm going to forego breakfast because I'm late for work... Fishes as a plural for fish, is incorrect... Yes, people speak incorrect grammar all the time, that doesn't mean it's a word... However, fishes as a verb, as in "He fishes everyday" is correct.

	it allowed me to play the game but the time never started and it didn't say i finished the game when i got all of them.

	Fishes is also a correct pluralization, like octopus is octopuses or octopods (or octopi)

	From the OED: "The normal plural of fish is fish (a shoal of fish; he caught two huge fish; ). The older form fishes is still used, but almost exclusively when referring to different kinds of fish (freshwater fishes of the Great Lakes)."

	Flavour has 7 letters. I hope that helps.

	@Cymric_Donkey: In the United States, "flavor" is the proper spelling. As well as "color" instead of colour and several others.

	Fun one, but you really do need to remove a minute or so from the time, it was too easy to back and get the one i struggled on, even still i had over a minute to spare. Very fun though, i liked the word choices.

	I don't remember people using "fishes" as the plural of "fish" until Gollum made it popular.

	I made "fist" before I figured out fetish.
