	'Bon voyage' isn't a synonym for 'goodbye', but good quiz anyway.

	@Toby123 No problem at all, just pointing it out. :)

	I thought I had time to build most of auf wiedersehen and then get the positioning of the remaining 'e' and 'h' by experimentation. I didn't.

	@weaselking1000: mirriam-webster defines bon voyage as farewell and lists goodbye as a synonym.

	The modern German equivalent of the somewhat clumsy "Auf Wiedersehen" is "Tschüß" by the way, coming from the north and taking over Germany. Hard to include esszetts and umlauts in a quiz of this kind though ;) And yes, "Tschüß" is a corrupted way of saying "adios" (coming from the Netherlands when they were Spanish, moving east) which was even more popularized during Napoleonic times, when it also served to corrupt the French "adieu".

	@cantdeesighed I've already vented my spleen once on Sporcle about Noah Webster, the misanthropic self-proclaimed linguistic 'revolutionary' and all-round charlatan. The OED defines it as 'have a good journey', and that should be good enough for any English-speaker. It might well be associated with 'goodbye', but it is not a synonym. I wouldn't be surprised if Merriam-Webster defines 'synonym' as 'a word or phrase that means the same as another word or phrase in the same language, or alternatively is vaguely associated with another word or phrase in certain contexts...because Mr. Webster wanted to be different'. Definitive dictionary my foot.

	Even with all the letters in front of me I couldn't manage auf wiedersehen. Oh well I remembered how to spell au revoir.

	I had the song from "Sound of Music" in my head

	WeaselKing1000: Very few of these words literally mean the same thing as "Goodbye" -- "God be with ye". However, they are all used in the same context, with the only slight argument being that bon voyage is said to the departing person while the rest are mostly neutral on who says it. It's really not a significant stretch to include it here.

	Well Done on a second publish Toby! :)

	@HEADERS2304.. THANKS A LOT!!

	Nice selection of words. Some are easy some are hard, but none of them is too far fetched. In Brabant (a Dutch province) we are famous for saying "houdoe!" as a goodbye.

	Who else just gave up on trying to spell the 3rd to last one?

	Love the game. Bon voyage may be a stretch but it is a goodbye to someone departing by boat. For the next time - Shalom?

	See you later alligator? Shalom? Fun game.
