| Lovely quiz; and well done for making it comparitively dialect-independent! // To round up some of what other commenters have said: afaics, the ones which don’t work in British and some Commonwealth accents are do/dew/due (dew = due = /dju/, do = /du/) and peddle/petal/pedal (peddle = pedal = /pɛdəl/, petal = /pɛtəl/). Maybe add a note in the instructions that a few answers only work in standard US accents? or replace with something else universal? // Also, perhaps add bonuses for the extra ones which work in non-rhotic accents (Brit, Bostonian, etc.): paw (= pore etc.), awe (= ore etc.), yaw (= your). // Also, pronouncing ‘err’ like ‘air’ is somewhat uncommon (online dictionaries support this, eg Wiktionary, www.oed.com); maybe demote it to a “variant” bonus, like ‘leas’? |
