Well, in many cases it helps to know multple languages. Case in point: uxoricide. There were quite a few other words I knew from other languages in the quiz (English is not my mother tongue).

That and the amount of words I know RPGs in the quiz really surprised me. How often do you use a bludgeon, wouldn't you use a bat in stead?

Finally, there's a huge difference between active vocabulary --the words you actually use in speach or writing-- and passive vocabulary that is tested here. In my humble opinion, passive vocabulary should be tested in context of a sentence.

I always thought of "bludgeon" as a verb. First I've heard it being used as a noun (and now my vocab has expanded!).

Talkative people will bludgeon you with their thoughts. It's useful when you've already used other words like "harass" and "bore" and need a synonym.
