	Can't believe I was so stupid. I assumed all 10 answers were forms of the same name! So I spent most of the time going through the quiz trying to find 10 forms of the same name and failing miserably. only got what I was actually supposed to be doing in the last minute. I don't suppose you could add a note saying that you just have to pick one from each column for each name, just for the benefit of the easily confused like myself?

	Also, there must be some sort of glitch because the box at the bottom of the third column is blank.

	emmafrisbee:	Feb 9th, 2013 at 12:16 GMT		2 points
	Sorry, something else as well! I just got every name right until I had only one left in each column. These came up as wrong though.

	I changed the question and note to hopefully be more clear. Unfortunately I'm not seeing the blank box so I don't know what to do about that! Re: the last four coming up wrong, you only get 10 guesses, so if you made any errors previously you will run out of turns before the last one. I could only see an option to either do it this way or have unlimited turns...if anyone knows an in-between way to do this (like giving 15 turns) let me know!

	PS. Thanks for the feedback! :)

	I see someone gave it a 1 with no comment. VERY HELPFUL :P

	emmafrisbee:	Feb 9th, 2013 at 13:32 GMT		2 points
	I definitely got all my guesses right, with my 10th guess I tried the five last boxes (one in each column) and they still came up as wrong. I gave it 5 globes anyway, I'm looking forward to versions for different letters!

	I thought this was a great game :)

	Emma - which name are you doing last? (Or does it seem to make any difference?) I'm trying to replicate but no luck yet.

	creamierale:	Feb 9th, 2013 at 16:20 GMT		5 points
	I had the same issue as Emma. It came up as wrong when I put in the Alexander names, but I got them right. At the end those were the only names left. Great game though, looking forward to more versions.

	emmafrisbee:	Feb 9th, 2013 at 17:27 GMT		3 points
	It was the forms of Alexander with me as well.

	laurenthian:	Feb 9th, 2013 at 17:35 GMT		4 points
	the Alexander names are definitely problematic. Please fix the issue, then make many more of these quizzes!

	Michelle194:	Feb 10th, 2013 at 08:45 GMT		2 points
	I had the same issue with the Alexander names and I really don't know why.

	nightfloat:	Feb 10th, 2013 at 09:04 GMT		2 points
	Thanks, guys! I took out the Alexander entry and re-did it. It is working for me, but it also was working for me before so I can't trust my own testing. Please let me know if there's still a problem.

	LisaSimpsonOH:	Feb 10th, 2013 at 13:50 GMT		1 point
	I'm having problems with the Alexander names today, so it doesn't seem to be fixed. Otherwise, great concept for a game.

	nightfloat:	Feb 10th, 2013 at 14:27 GMT		1 point
	Ok, took it out again and re-did it, this time replacing the variant that had a special character in case that was the problem. Again, it works for me but my testing hasn't been reflecting the problems, so if anyone gives it another shot let me know if it works now.

	emmafrisbee:	Feb 10th, 2013 at 16:08 GMT		2 points
	Yay, it all works for me now :)

	OnceKnewSoMuch:	Feb 11th, 2013 at 03:54 GMT		3 points
	This was an interesting variation on your cognate themed quizzes. I would like to see in the column headings, or notes, which language family each name comes from.
