I loved this quiz even though I'm about to whine about it. I didn't get cosy because I'm American and we spell it with a z. Also, spicy and hot aren't really the same thing. Spicy food such as sausages aren't necessarily hot, nor are hot foods such as jalapenos called spicy, they are just hot. (Actually I never even thought about peppery hot when I read the clue, I was thinking temperature of the food and drew a complete blank.) For me, a wording of something such as, "Loaded with paprika," would have been more clear.

I learned something new from this quiz - another meaning of pithy. I'd only ever heard it used in reference to a plant, such as, "If you hollow out the pithy center of an elderberry stem you can make a whistle from it," or "If you leave radishes in the ground too long they become pithy."

Paprika for me is what you call bell peppers, so I wouldnt think of spicy at all.

This seems very arbitrary to me. I would definitely call jalapenos spicy and probably but maybe less so sausages hot, and I imagine many others would too

If you ever work out how to do it, please let me know. Are you suggesting that 'psychtoic' is a word?

FWIW, adding "(food)" to the clue "Hot" adds/clarifies nothing.

Spicy food feels hot. That helped me, at least.

Probably still tons of words you can get from the grid, but I think you missed a good chance of using coptic :)

Perhaps instead of pithy (or is that word just obscure to me? Because stoic scored lower and that one I found easy) or maybe typo (I thought you were looking for a term for words starting with "th" or the th sound etc) And just add it :) but those would in my few be first up for change (in their current form)

Maybe be a little more specific for the Scotch enthusiasts--simply saying "whiskey" does not equate to Scotch, as they will readily tell you.
