i got 2 out of the 7 but i dont think those are very common words
Where in the teaser does it say they are common words?
"well-known words"
They are all well known...
Good one Mad, liked it. Particularly the 'rak' one. I believe you worded it correctly, these words, whilst possibly not commonly used are still pretty well known and 'well known' is the wording you used.
anorak and scampi? what kinda words are we talking about here?
Scampi is a well known word wherever people eat seafood, and anorak is well known wherever they are worn. (I, howver, had to look up anorak )
Anorak is a British term for parka. No one in the States would know it if they didn't watch British shows, which I do (I learned it from Red Dwarf), or compete in spelling bees.
Fun teaser. I got them all except for anorak, and I got sphynx instead of larynx. Thanks Mad-Ade.
Very good teaser! I got them all except for "anorak".
