Word Test

This is not as boring as the title sounds, but it does, as suggested, involve a word test. So if you don't like words; well, I guess you're not reading this. Or this. Or this. Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnk.

So it's a test to see how many of the 100 most common words in the English language you can name within 5 minutes.

'That's easy', I thought, and mentally awarded myself a 98.

Unfortunately, it's a bit harder than I thought, and I set the bar at a very achievable 40%. After that I had another go, which was worse, and my third go was, I think, 15%. By that stage I was all 'shit don't matter' but it actually hurt me.

Here's the link. If you get more than 40, I'm really happy for you but how bout you keep that to yourself?

I got 33. So much less stressful just reading the answers at the end.
