alt Hacker NewsA lot are also just guessable because 3 out of the 4 definitions are obvious nonsense. I'd rather have a "I don't know this word" button than just pick the one that's obviously correct out of the 4, if the goal is to get a real estimate.

I wanted to know my real score so I intentionally picked the answer most likely to be wrong in those instances.

Yeah I scored well enough and only missed 3, but that’s just because it was very easy to “guess well”.
There were many words I didn’t know though.
Funny enough, usually the correct answer is the option with the most number of letters/words. I found myself just picking the longest answer and by a wide margin it was the correct answer.
