Freerice level 47
* I'm getting better slowly.
* It's easier if you go slowly and think about each one. It does help.
* Often you can guess what type of word. Is it a noun or adjective? Does it sound like a name?
* In fact, any tree, bird, fish, fowl, or cultural term in the list always seems to be right
* It's always satisfying when you know a word because of a book, board game, etymological conversation, or mathematical discipline etc that you never thought would come in handy. "Belike" "Rugose" "thaumatalurgical" "predicate"

Level 45 is obviously words I've used sometimes, whereas 46+ is words I can deduce the meaning of but have never written.
