You need to add some (more) type ins. I missed six answers because you either want exact spellings or have too few type ins. None of them are exactly everyday words.

Thanks for the feedback. Still learning how to make these, I've added some (more) type ins, hopefully it's a little more user friendly.

It would not accept "sandworm" as an answer for me lol.

I think Dune also borrowed quite a bit from Islam, especially in terms of Fremen beliefs and customs.

Also, good quiz! Do you mind if I make a slightly longer Dune quiz as well?

Fun quiz. Laughed at that last question about sonic weapons in Lynch's film version. Serious fans of the books (e.g., Paul Krugman of the New York Times) are still bent out of shape about those.
