    Vocab level of 37 when I quit at 1000 grains.

    I had no idea that "stevedore" was synonymous with "longshoreman," but I got the word right.

    Good find, Spud!

    Very cool.

    Three years of Latin in high school and numerous linguistics classes in college allowed me to guess the correct answer on some of those
