Trig is closely tied to circles. It's not an unreasonable answer.

Why do you have to type the whole word? All the other suffix quizzes, you just type until you get to the suffix.

In this quiz the entire word is required because a couple of the answers have the same first three letters, so typing one would accidentally give you points for the other.

Not necessarily the first 3 letters, just all the letters before -try.

I would suggest not requiring -try and adding yellow box. That would be more consistent.

I missed "industry" but was surprised to see it was the lowest on the answer grid. Got everything else though. Thanks for a fun quiz!

So just exactly how did 40% get a pseudo word like "palmistry" and only 19% get such a simple, well described word as industry?

It's called cheating with the internet and not thinking.

Nope, it's not cheating. There is a very simple explanation which I'll leave as an exercise.

You mean guessing, and there aren't that many words relating to the front of the hand.

So you failed to figure out that PALM reading is PALMISTRY and you're trying to accuse those who did figure this out of "not thinking"? Yep, that's solid logic and self-awareness lol

I'm not sure that the industry clue fits. It threw me when it said, especially in a factory. Industry is a bit broader than goods that are manufactured in a factory. It could refer to any number of services that are provided, e.g. the banking industry, restaurant industry.
