Looks like 'rigamarole' is the American spelling (but it's the way I've always seen it, in Canada, too). Never knew there was another way to spell it.

That's how we say it too!

Never heard of rigmarole until now. It's based on an old game ragman roll, so there's that.

My Mum says Rigothe for Ricotta, and for most of school we said the Plegible Legiance. We have glottal stops like the British, which makes us Townies.

I think 'apotheosis' also works for 'Culmination, highest point'

Rigamarole (with an a in the middle) is also an acceptable form. In fact it's the only one that I ever knew.

Both rigmarole and rigamarole should be accepted - a quick Google search confirms multiple dictionary sources back this up

I would say that Parochial means narrow-minded more in terms of locality, relating to a parish, a church or some other small group, at the expense of the outside world. I’m obviously nit-picking, but perhaps this is why this answer was by far the least guessed? I do enjoy your quizzes though, and what are the comments on Jetpunk vocabulary quizzes for if not a spot of pedantry. It’s kind of the essence of word games
