	I don't know how many chat abbreviations I tried to no avail.

	DanUK:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 04:30 GMT		99 points
	I'll probably get hammered for this, but with that timing, this feels like a blitz unless I'm far more stupid than I thought I was.

	DanUK:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 05:10 GMT		95 points
	A quick postscript to my original comment (and to which I think the early stats attest) to get all 222 answers right on this quiz, you'd have to get each answer in 1.6 seconds for the full 6 minutes (and no hesitation whatsoever) which is frankly, madness. I'm all for quizzes being hard, but I think this needs a re-think on the time.

	deugea:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 05:29 GMT		8 points
	Wow, that is an extremely fast quiz. Very, very challenging.

	Sprockets:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 05:37 GMT		4 points
	Tobley, this implementation is best. Thanks. Suspect non-Scrabble types will be shaking their heads... ZUZ (an ancient Hebrew silver coin)... ULU (an Eskimo knife)... :-)

	I actually know what a zuz is, I just was nowhere near getting to that point in the quiz. I went in order and got a word for every slot within a second or two it felt like, and I still only got to the words starting with q...

	@Mark- That's a contraction bro.

	omi68:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 08:24 GMT		27 points
	Good quiz, need more time though.

	hodgetiger:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 09:42 GMT		4 points
	Just looked back, after typing and not thinking, to see my brain had come up with ass, bum and tit !

	Rob42:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 10:20 GMT		25 points
	Good, fun quiz, but definitely needs more time. Maybe an extra two minutes.

	Marsupial_Ninja:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 10:33 GMT		22 points
	Definitely needs more time, but a good quiz.

	Triffid:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 10:58 GMT		6 points
	There was no prospect of my getting them all in the time, so I would have preferred more time and a minefield. I prefer quizzes that are about thought, rather than speed. So I was bored and stopped before I got to the Cs.

	JadaReid:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 11:04 GMT		7 points
	zen?

	MRL:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 12:02 GMT		4 points
	@JadaReid: Zen is capitalized, and like other proper nouns isn't included on the Scrabble tournament word list.

	elroy:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 12:48 GMT		26 points
	I propose upping the time to 8 minutes. It would still be challenging, but doable.

	bookworm75:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 13:17 GMT		13 points
	I agree with Elroy. Although I do like the quiz. It's extremely thorough.

	finesse:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 13:34 GMT		0 points
	Priblem with the time is the lag... These types always seem to pause for thought, so you don't know whether it's wrong or thinking. If response was quicker, time might just be possible. Otherwise, tends to be a tad boring...

	ade (n) - a sweetened beverage of diluted fruit juice

	HelloPossum:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 13:50 GMT		8 points
	Even with F11 I had to scroll to get the bottom ones. PITA. Fun quiz, though.

	Sackgirl:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 14:01 GMT		11 points
	I would have liked to try to get to complete it but with the time it was impossible. If you just edit the length of time I will definately replay this quiz as it was really fun.

	lwfc:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 14:28 GMT		23 points
	Fun quiz, but there's not enough time to get anywhere close to finishing it. I know time limits should make games challenging, but 6 minutes makes the game impossible, I only had enough time to guess the obvious ones, and there wasn't enough time to scroll to try the ones that didn't fit on the screen.

	Serenity:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 14:51 GMT		1 point
	Thank you scrabble

	Oik is far too good a word not to be on the list.

	@NikeSkylark: No, they shouldn't, because they're not legal words. "Ade" is only a suffix, and "Zen" is capitalized. I live for quizzes like this- 5/5. I agree that the time is short, but I personally enjoyed that aspect of the quiz because of the rushed, constant thought it forced out of me.

	'Lur' wasn't accepted - a large horn found at quite a few archaeological sites in Scandinavia, allowed in Scrabble. On a general note, this is basically a blitz. It needs at least twice as much time.

	'Add' certainly is a word. What does a calculator do?

	austin5string:	Feb 18th, 2012 at 23:52 GMT		2 points
	Agree with Dan. I definitely understand the concern about too much time allowing people to just brute-force the quiz, but I still think 6 minutes is way too low. It could easily be increased by a couple minutes, I think. I was rushing through it and didn't have any chance at all to review ones that I'd missed. Didn't even get to the end, for that matter.

	eab21:	Feb 19th, 2012 at 01:20 GMT		11 points
	@Muzzer84: I use calculators for typing 5318008 or 07734 and then holding it upside down.

	You know you're addicted to Doctor Who when the first word that comes to your mind when you see "OO_" is "Ood"

	HPZ:	Feb 20th, 2012 at 22:43 GMT		3 points
	@DanUK and others: You're not stupid, but I think you're seeing this quiz differently from how I see it (and how I presume tobley intended it). I don't think this quiz was designed to test an average English speaker's familiarity with three-letter words; it's designed to test a Scrabble player's knowledge of three-letter words in the TWL. In a timed, tournament Scrabble game, speed is as important as familiarity with the wordlist, and this quiz is a good test of that combined skill set. Said differently: this isn't a test of how smart you are at figuring out what words go where, it's a test of whether you know the list by rote.

	This was a fun quiz, spent most time trying to think of the ul- and ec- words!!
