I can get up to level 50, but it's darn hard to stay there!

ETA: I have a few words where I'd dispute the definition... they've got one that's close, but definitely not a cigar, listed as the right definition. (Gramayre is not necromancy, thank you very much...) But on the whole it's quite enlightening.

Yes - that seems almost to be a default place, though I just went back there and had to start at level 11. First time that happened - usually it would start at 40ish, then go up or down. Unfortunately it doesn't save my triumphs (such as they are...) and each time I leave the site I have to start over.

(I don't mind not having gack-credit - just glad you enjoyed!)

There's a setting where you can get the computer to remember you and where you were, but then you wouldn't see the repeat words as often, I think.

Thank you! I will try that. When I go there for another 'fix', it's a nuisance to have to work up from 11. (and already a time hog) And the more words to learn, the merrier!
