Words for Homes Quiz

How about "Bachelor Pad" for #27. I demand satisfaction.

The word 'bachelor' is in the clue. Absolutely no need to put it in the answer.

The quiz should still accept the addition of "Bachelor" though since that is the proper term.

should trim the quiz down a little....4 places where a monk lives? cloister and priory are unnecessary and extreme (7% and 1% success rate).

But then people would complain, "Why don't you accept cloister or priory?". You know, Quizmaster, it seems that you just can't win. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I hate to complain but you should also accept Tepee for number 24 and according to wikipedia Tipi is also another spelling.

Thank you Age of empires for Yurt! And thank you Elder Scrolls V Oblivion for priory

Actually a cloister is a standard part of all monastic complexes. It is the large, enclosed, arcaded courtyard that monks can circumambulate. A more accurate term would have been "hermitage."

27/30

Too American. I've never even heard of half those things.

I got 21/30.

So that's what a duplex is. Do people actually use the term McMansion?

#11 should accept plantation. Just a thought!

For Canadian's its not called dormitory, we call it residency, just saying. There should be some acception for regional differences in terminology.

Condo should defiantly work for number 3.

I think compound should have worked for manor/estate

What about "hen house" for where a chicken lives

racinemitch i agree go mongols!

bungalow should be accepted as well as cabana. i live in a beach town and you almost never hear them referred to as "cabana's"

what about shack for rustic beach home

@Batz - Agreed. I live in Florida and we have Bungalows. No one says 'Cabana'.

Around here (northeast USA) we never call it a duplex -- it's a twin, or twin house. And in Britain it's a semi-detached house. I'd suggest you accept those too.

I think mudhut should have worked for hut.

Motorhome is a caravanette in UK.

Agree with Nyneve922. I'm in Columbus, and although duplex is sometimes used, it's more common to hear them referred to as 'doubles', or 'twin singles'.
