Uncommon Words: Can You Guess the Meaning?

Uncommon Words: Meaning Match is designed for people who love language but do not want a dusty vocabulary test. The prompts use words you might bump into in a novel, long-form essay, or crossword, then ask you to trust your instincts on context. Instead of trick questions, the options are clear contrasts: the right answer feels precise rather than fancy. That keeps the pace snappy and lets you see which roots or suffixes you naturally understand. Because the quiz runs locally, nothing you pick is saved or shared; refresh to try again or play offline on a flight. If you miss a word, read it aloud and notice the sound2many of these terms signal their meaning through cadence or familiar Latin and Greek fragments. Collect the ones you like and weave them into your next email or caption so they stick. When you later host the quiz remotely, you can rotate in fresh words without touching the structure. Treat this as a mini workout for your reading brain, not a gatekeeping exam.
