For Explorers and Adventurers in the World of Words

Please make a list of the words you would challenge, so you can score your performance.

You must challenge at least three words.

Answers are below the board. The dictionary used is M-W's online Collegiate. It is not as comprehensive as you might think and purposely leaves out a number un-words that are defined as the opposite the word itself.

Note: When you play the game, you have to consider the score for the play, the current score, the abilities and tendencies of your opponent, and the oppontunity the play leaves for you before deciding to challenge.












Give yourself one point for each successful challenge.
Take away one point for each failed challenge.
If you did not challenge a word, there is no adjustment to your score.
Look up your skill level on the table provided at the end.
