	The language is Hindi, not Hindu. great quiz though, a lot of fun!

	"Leafy green like mint used for seasoning" is worded in a very confusing (and grammatically incorrect) way. Primarily it is because you should say "such as" instead of "like." But really I think you should just get a better definition of it, such as "a plant whose leaves, stems, or flowers are used as seasoning."

	Absolutely brilliant! Nominated.

	Excellent quiz! I never thought that it could be made for all 26 letters.

	@Thalia: it's not grammatically incorrect; but I'd agree it's factually slightly incorrect, and certainly slightly misleading, and would be better reworded as Thalia suggests. But quibbles aside, AWESOME quiz! This is one I want to give six Sporcles to...

	I've always seen it spelled 'hajj'.

	sproutcm:	Sep 12th, 2010 at 01:43 GMT		2 points
	@penguinman95 It can be spelled either way, but it is pretty much the only word ending in a J with this property that's over 3-letters long. Unless you wanted the horribly pop-cultury Minaj to Mina.

	Great quiz. Like dancastro, I was also very surprised that this was actually doable. The one thing that's missing is the letter being added on, but I can't think of a good way to incorporate it. I guess it's not really necessary, but it was slightly annoying running through the alphabet in my head many times.

	sproutcm:	Sep 13th, 2010 at 02:56 GMT		0 points
	@puckett86 Actually, they are listed in alphabetical order by the letter you're adding to the end, so you don't need to go through the alphabet really.

	puckett86:	Sep 13th, 2010 at 02:59 GMT		1 point
	I know they are alphabetical, but you still have to go through the alphabet to figure out which letter goes with the answer because the letter isn't given.

	I didn't even realize it was alphabetical -- facepalmmmmm lol... but i got 11 would have gotten more but wasted time in the beginning if i knew the 1st word but not 2nd adding each letter of alphabet (again not realizing it was in order lol), so i ran outta time... I think to expand on puckett's idea, maybe put the letter next to the short clue... i.e. "Ancient Greek Physician (a)"
