The word "sees" is listed as one answer for the month of September, but there are not two S letters in September, so that one is not a possible answer. Lots of possibilities the creator found that I didn't come up with, though. Interesting!

Excellent quiz, however, a couple of points being: 1. You appear to be missing mete for September (to ration out), and boor for October (a rude unrefined person) for October. 2. Deem and deer are the wrong way round for December, which threw me off when trying to figure out what the word before deem could be :P.

Several of these words are blurring the lines of common...for example "lira" and "burr" (not the same as burs from plants). Are they more common than something like "boor", "gats" or "morn" (none of which are listed, but which are all commonly on crosswords/in Scrabble). I think you might do better to just make it a full list of all possibilities so there's no discrepancy.

This needs a standard dictionary such a's one of the scrabble dictionaries specified or there are too many things missing or hard to justify.

berm,sere,boor,yuan. And three letter words with an "s" for plural are not legal four letter words.

i agree that the definition of "common" is very subjective. i too spotted "mach" and "morn" as well as "aril."

Good quiz, but I felt a bit cheated to get all but the one that shouldn't even be an answer (see first comment), and even more cheated that 0.6% got them all, including this wrong answer!

@GloryRoads and WyvernSabres, sorry about that mistake, but it's fixed now! @Cryptus, you're right about the deem/deer thing. My bad. It seems my alphabet skills are not up to par... @slamb, why not?

And I've decided to include every possible word you can make, because of some controversy over what a "common" word was. Thanks for all the feedback everybody!
