As a professed philologos, this book is a gem. I go over two word quizzes a week, and try to use the previously unknown words, throughout the week. I enjoy crossword puzzles, playing ChumWords online with friends, and collecting books that have to do with words, the history of words, punctuation, etc. Build up your spelling and word use by learning new and unique words. Each quiz has a theme, with related words. A fun challenge for all ages.

Great book to stimulate your brain. Read one a day and your vocabulary will increase. You will also find out how many words you actually know. You may be surprised!

A good selection of words we should all know. It’s fun to go through one-a-day. Be careful, some of the multiple choices are tricky.

[Suzanne]

A straightforward vocabulary quiz book of words you know, think you know, or ought to know. Each twenty word quiz is followed by an answer page with a fuller definition, contextual examples, and etymology.

I had so much fun learning every day as I did each of the 50+ exercises. Being a word nerd, I was in heaven with each test of what I knew...literally.
