	Props to you, bowsntoys. Yours is the first example I've seen of marking proper nouns in scrambles. I think this should become standard Sporcle practice (Spractice?) Kudos! and good quiz!

	Thanks, Smartster! It was either use the Y word, or leave out Y. (I didn't know about the gaming word at the time.) I chose to have some variety without making the game too difficult. I'm planning on doing a whole series and hopefully those-who-know-best will pick them for publishing. :)

	I always thought Russia used to be a pretty czary country.

	I was certain "zoned" had to also fit for the fourth word.... until I figured out that wouldn't fit alphabetically. Drat! Good quiz.

	I typed "vuvuzela" without even looking at the club, then was surprised it didn't work.

	Good idea. Could have used jazz and vuvuzela and left out y to avoid proper nouns.

	Tried finalize over and over until I realized it was the "I" one, not the "F" one. :( Would't have worked anyway...

	I got halfway through before I twigged that the answers were in alphabetical order - smacks forehead - that made it a tad easier. Nice quiz, thanks.

	@JoeFlint: I learned about the J word on "The Big Bang Theory" the other night (and then verified it). For the rest of you: I will try for a variety of easy, mostly medium, and just a few tough words (in my estimation). If that means using a proper noun, then I will. However, I will not use an obscure name that you will only get by continuously rearranging the letters in random order until you happen to get the correct answer. :)

	Congrats on the publish, @bowsntoys! Like I said in the archived comments, great quiz! I think you should do another quiz like this except maybe with q or x or some other letter that isn't too common as the star letter!

	the fourth one could have been zoned too.

	@janer55: the words are in alphabetical order. @Arissignol: I'm more of the k that's up there. :)

	i totally didn't understand what i was supposed to do. i somehow thought the Z in each of them was an extra letter.. so i spent two minutes trying to come up with a word from the letters MAEA.. time well spent! great quiz though.
