	The proper gas from of water is called "Vapor" not "steam"

	Hard element...metal! really? I don't think that's very accurate. I was trying to find an actual element that was hard and fitted the quiz. This could be worded better.

	Lots of "____ again" clues, but I think these are mostly avoidable: [Sow again (7)] anagrams to [Flower box (7)] and [Designs again (7)] could become [Small error (5)] without messing up the links. [Bathe in sunlight again (5)] isn't really a word, but if you make it [Netflix offerings (7)] then you're fine, although then you'd probably want to change [Leases (5)] to [Least far (7)] to avoid having two cognates of the same word.

	I liked it, but I think you could improve a few of your definitions. For example, "pares" means "peels," not "slices." Overall a good quiz, though. Thanks.

	The clue for "stem" is one of those classic, how-not-to-write-a-clue clues. The clue describes a verb, but the answer was a noun. I was trying to come up with a verb form ending in S to fit the clue and could not come up with "stem" until later after I got "met" below it by accident.

	The term anagram implies that every letter of the initial word is used.

	The clues on this quiz are some of the most illogical, incorrect, and hackneyed in a published game on Sporcle.

	Retan is not really a word (certainly not in the way you used it). Every possible definition I can find uses it as an adjective or a noun (never a verb), and it relates to multiple processes of leather tanning. The phrasing of half the clues makes them clumsy, such as "inclined against." Leant could mean inclined, as in an object positioned at an angle, or incline in feeling, such as leaning towards a choice. But inclined AGAINST doesn't make much sense, I'm not sure how you arrived at that definition. Poor choice of clues for the ladder.

	This is a great quiz!

	To correct rafilip... The correct term for water in its gaseous state is steam. Water vapour is suspended droplets of water in air. When a kettle boils, right at the spout, has is released that can't be seen. This is steam. Water vapour can be seen and occurs when the steam cools down and starts to condense.

	Some of these clues are a bit strange. "Inclined against" threw me way off.

	I thought it was water vapor

	I did this and did not know a couple -- and then I realized that I wasn't signed in. Some of these clues were so hard.

	Bad clues, great quiz.

	transitfan:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 20:09 GMT		4 points
	Excellent concept; needs fleshing out. In addition to issues pointed out above, I would note that metal and mental are the same order of letters, just with the extra letter inserted, so not actually an anagram.

	happygi1more77: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam Steam is the correct term.

	Agree with everyone that lots of the clues are bad. Also, there were too many dead ends and there should have been more cross-word connections. Like "barrel stopper" - if you don't know that word there is no way to reason it out by solving other clues.

	Did someone really just site wikipedia as a reliable source for science?...

	eab21:	Nov 30th, 2011 at 01:26 GMT		1 point
	The gas form of water is called vapor, not steam. I know that you're trying to make the clues fit in one line, but a better hint for steam would be something like "What a boiling kettle produces."

	"Traits from birth" as "natures" is awful. Traits make up one's nature, yes, but kind of that necessarily makes them not the same thing. One person has many traits; one person does not have many natures.

	No, it's steam. Look it up.
