Nice quiz! It's somewhat difficult, so maybe allow more time? In the constructive response department, "discretely" should be spelt "discreetly" in the context you use it. Also, in most of the English-speaking world lima beans are pronounced the same way as Lima, Peru (like this: "Lee-ma"), which makes it no longer a heteronym. In United States (where I see you live) do you pronounce the bean "lie-ma" by any chance?

Thank you!

I have doubled the time limit on this quiz and its predecessor. (I have been wondering why the scores were so low. You may have solved that mystery for me.)

Despite being an Anglophile, I don’t believe I’ve ever heard anyone who’s not from the U.S. pronounce “lima bean.” The lie-ma pronunciation is the standard American English pronunciation. The Ohio city is definitely pronounced “lie-ma.” I have clarified the clue to specify the U.S. pronunciation.

I also corrected the embarrassing spelling error you brought to my attention. (Yikes!)

Thanks for your helpful feedback!
