There is no consensus on the fairness of the quiz or the accuracy of its scoring. Multiple competing views exist regarding the impact of speed, interpretation, and spelling variations on participants' scores.
Participants mention regional spelling differences, such as "oesophagus" versus "esophagus", which may affect the quiz results. There are also unresolved technical issues regarding the program's functionality.

If you get longer words in the first part then you will naturally do it slower and get a lower score. Also sometimes you accidentally hit the wrong one when trying to do it too quick.
It also comes down to interpretation as well. Like how arildno thought it was referring to guilt instead of gilt, so people can get the wrong answer based on their interpretation.

You're right! I just got tired after answering to the first questions and left it. But of course before going to get a rest, I posted here for you! It's a Brit game. I think they spell it 'aesophagus'.pattylou said:
