You should really consider adding type-ins! I tried marhaba and marhaban, and they really should have been accepted. I also tried ahla and ahlan and it should also be accepted as form of greeting/welcoming.

Definitely. This is a really odd transliteration of Marhaba, for which several write ins should be available, and it should also definitely including Ahlan or Ahlan wa sahlan.

Thanks for the comment, I don't speak Arabic so the type-ins that I already have added were spelled just by going off what I heard online. I'll add your suggestions, as well as others in the comments!

Would really appreciate "marhaba" being accepted for Arabic. That's one of the most common transliterations I've seen in practice. Far more so (IME) than what you have (which is a more formal way of saying it).

I've enjoyed doing these quizzes, even though I think my top score has been 7 or something, which is a bit rubbish. Thank you! I think you really like three-letter Latin words ending in x..?

Hahah I chose those specific words for Latin because I think a good amount of people have simply been exposed to them, whether they realize it or not. I've definitely seen "vox" and "pax" in museums/history classes/online, and I think others might have a similar experience (I do like the simplicity and power of them tho!).
