    I can't seem to get past level 32 :( :rolleyes: I can answer a lot correctly then I tend to slip up and I end up going down slightly [​IMG] I am pleased though with my score because I am finding that there are words that I new but had forgotton. :D

    I know what you mean - it is such a thrill to 'work out' the meaning of a word, and get it right! [​IMG]

    rosa, kandy,
    I've checked it out again. If you start from the beginning (log in again) and get the first four answers correct you will go straight to level 40. If you manage not to get any wrong you will go up one level each time you get three correct.

    good luck everyone [​IMG] [​IMG] :D

    A hint. If you have no idea and 3 answers are one word and 1 answer is two or more, take that one.

    2nd hint. If there is a medical definition then that one is right more often than not.

    3rd hint. Don't scream at the screen. You are likely to get dinner served over your head. :(

    I wasn't sure how long I was supposed to go for, but gave up at 3,710 grains as I was getting repeat questions.

    Where were the levels ???

    LoL. The Vocab level you are at is shown at the bottom right of the box where you answer the questions.

    Just spent an hour on this:) Couldn't get past 47 but nearly 4000 grains. Could 'waste' lots of time on this but it isn't a waste if you learn something is it.:)

    cheers
