	This is my first time writing this type of game, so please go easy on me. Of course, I was inspired by sproutcm's original foursome game (and his prequel). Please help me identify errors. Also, if you don't think this deserves the "difficult" note in the parenthetical, please let me know. Thanks! :)

	I like it a lot, except the "themes from Burning Man." That one seems a bit...off.

	If anything, difficult isn't a strong enough word. That didn't hinder the enjoyment much though, it is still a fun challenge to try to connect the less familiar words. I must now go find a picture of a chicken turtle to see if it is as funny looking as I am imagining, although I will probably be disappointed.

	Heehee, betraisefold. Like most turtles, chicken turtles are adorable. And, thanks, you two. Should I change the "Burning Man" set to something new? I kind of wanted random well-known words thrown in. Mainly, the idea was to get sets from a wide variety of topics, like sports, movies, geography, entertainment, etc., to be inclusive of everyone's knowledges.

	OK, RebeccaAMax, I took account of your feedback and replaced that category with a new set. I think the new category might be easy to recognize, too.

	I've done a bunch of these match-4 quizzes now and I think they work best when the items in each column are alphabetized. That way, when you're trying to find entries you know you saw before, to figure out what column they are in, you can do easily and quickly. When it's completely random, you spend more time searching for words you know than actually entering them.

	I totally agree with you. I first created this quiz very soon after sproutcm released his first foursomes one. If you've played many of them, consider that my quiz was right on the heels of the original. It took some doodling with the settings to figure out the format. I didn't notice the ease of the alphabetizing until after the fact (after many more came out). My organization method at the time was to put word next to each other if they had similar-sounding syllables, so as to increase the difficulty. The quiz certainly took some time to assemble! For my part, I think alphabitizing is a nice touch, like a user-friendliness, but not a necessity. What's enjoyable to me about these quizzes is probably like what's enjoyable about NY Times crosswords; there's mind-toggling, free-association, process-of-elimination, and subtle puzzle-solving techniques that go into solving them even if you only know a handful of the words.

	To clarify, the organization was purposeful. Crete is next to Staite. Gaudi is next to Gaudin. Borneo is next to Neon. I'm not doubting the beauty of alphabetizing, just attesting to how, if one word obscures the next (because they share a syllable or sound), then the quiz increases in difficulty. I wanted it to be hard.
