I knew what a "conjugal" visit was in prison.. I tried typing in "spouse," "wife," "husband," "sex"...

Brill quiz - and, at last I had to confront the fact that I didn't know the meaning of diluvian. I kept thinking ante diluvian - and that should have helped, but it didn't. Curses, Red Baron!!

I would say easy for any new latin language mother tongue (I'm Italian), but I couldn't get penal... I tried justice and law but didn't work...

I tried justice too, but the problem is that there are other types of justice. I finally got it with "prison".

When I got to "sonic", my immediate thought was "hedgehogs", followed quickly by "drive ins"... it took me like 2 or 3 seconds to finally arrive at "sound"!

astral projection, astronomy, astrology, astrophysicist etc. Loads of words startig with astr-. Stellar I only know as a synonym for awesome. ( and in part in interstellar and constellation)

I tried fine for penal. I know it comes from latin poena and meant money you had to pay after doing something wrong. I couldnt think of a synonym for fine. Originally it isnt about discipline or punishment as it is now, but well to atone/do penance by paying money, the word penance/penitence is related aswell.

Eventhough the everyday use has shifted more to connection with prison. Originally the paying part is an integral part of the word. With something materialistic, not by doing time or getting hit (as punishment can imply. Though we still use the figurative "you will (have to) pay for that !!" it usually does not mean they want money, but you ll more likely get beat up..

Interestingly pain and fine have the same origins/root. (and both are/have been the consequences of doing something wrong, retribution)

Btw, it would be/ ve been funny if you would reply this with "Fine" instead of the usual "Okay" haha ... ok.... sorry... didnt have my caffeine yet... might not be that funny hahah. (but still think if I would ve seen it, it woulld make me smile. But well, now the joke is out allready..)

Clerical can definitely also mean that. Clerical tasks are related to accountancy, office work etc.

I am heartbroken that "hedgehogs" wasn't accepted for Sonic. On a website that accepts "Moops" as a type-in any time the answer is "Moors", one would expect a little generosity here.

maybe couple should be accepted for conjugal, as there is no need to be married to be concerned by the adjective.

Don't almost all words apply to things? How about a quiz about words that don't apply to things?
