This was pretty enjoyable! I think picking very common words that have complex definitions is a great idea. I think it might be better to avoid words that use a root of itself in the definition, though. I didn’t think agency would be a valid answer since agent was in the question! Still, it’s a good format and I’m not sure whether I’ve seen this type of quiz on here before! Nice one!

Thank you for your kind words. If you enjoyed this, you may want to try the other quizzes in this series.

Honestly, I have gone back and forth with regard to using words whose definition includes some form of that word. I was always taught that a good definition shouldn’t do that. Unfortunately, I am stuck with the Wiktionary definitions, as I am trying to avoid copyright infringement. The Oxford Languages definitions are tons better.
