Hello everyone. A couple of things about why this quiz looks this way.
a) The point of the quiz was to solve as many of the 4-letter word clues as you can and then search for the one that it overlaps with. If they were separated by columns, then there really wouldn't be much to solve at all. Plus, the alphabetical order of all of them together helps with the solving.
b) The original version didn't even have clues for the 5-letter words, but the clues for the 5-letter words need to be hard because if you solve the 5-letter word, you automatically know both 4-letter words with no work.
c) This was meant to be a thinking and challenging quiz, because there are plenty of Sporcle quizzes already that just have regular word puzzles, and I wanted to try something new to make people think in a new way.
d) You get to try to find new ways of solving puzzles. Finding a 4-letter word and maybe guessing the 5-letter word it was a part of, trying to solve it with only the 4-letter clues, trying the super-duper challenge of only using the 5-letter clues, etc. |
