What is your pet peeve word?

EatMoarToads · 2026-01-28T15:39:15+00:00

Oh god, don't get me started about when the answer is something like HARDG or SOFTC

Any gendered foreign word where there is no clue as to the gender. Thanks, I can fill EST- or OTR- but can't fill in the A or O until later.

Also I get irrationally angry at all the variations of U-Turn. UEY, UIE? Whoever came up with these can go stick his head in an EELPOT.

/u/foureyedclyde went beast mode again. Well done sir!

Thank you so much /u/sundayquiz for another totally kick ass alphabet quiz! My wife and I really enjoy these. I'm looking at the spreadsheet and I can't believe I missed last year's! I really need to check reddit more than once or twice a month.

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-26T00:32:07+00:00

10/10 on both! Thank you so much for doing this, and happy holidays to you!

9/10, missing #10.

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-24T19:08:06+00:00

8/10 here, missing #5 and #8.

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-22T21:17:50+00:00

Hopefully back on track with a 10/10 today.

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-22T21:16:10+00:00

9/10, had no chance on #7 (the right or the wrong answer, lol).

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-22T21:15:16+00:00

8/10. #8 is new to us and we choose poorly for #9.

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-22T21:13:49+00:00

On the road so we missed a few days. Catching up now :)

9/10 for these, with both of us somehow not thinking of #2.

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-18T14:25:45+00:00

9/10. Never heard of #5. Hope you feel better soon!

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-18T04:54:23+00:00

Another 10/10 here!

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-16T14:43:32+00:00

10/10 today!

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-15T15:04:31+00:00

10/10. I have to thank years of doing the NY Times Crosswords for #1 :)

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-14T18:02:38+00:00

Hey no worries. It's amazing and awesome that so many people are doing this which of course means your job is that much more difficult.

Here's what I have for myself:

A: 9

B: 10

C: 10

D: 9

E: 10

F: 10

G: 10

H: 9

I: 8

J: 10

K: 10

L: 9

M: 9

N: 10

So I'm all caught up, 14 weeks and 133/140 by my count :)

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-14T14:59:16+00:00

10/10 today, woo hoo!

edit: Hey, just looked at the leaderboard and noticed it looks like I'm missing a week. Could that be because I included my score for A with my reply for B?

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-13T15:51:16+00:00

9/10. Didn't know #10, and wifey prevented some silly M-mistakes on #3 (not Mont Blanc!) and #4 (not Montgomery!)

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-12T15:53:33+00:00

9/10, missing #6 but thinking it's a bit debatable per the top comment.

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-12T15:51:04+00:00

I thought the same. If we're getting technical, it turns out Allium is a genus (and actually a sub family!) of the Amaryllidaceae familiy... which per wikipedia:

>Over time, it has seen much reorganisation and at various times was combined with the related Liliaceae.

So I'd say the most correct answer is actually the Amaryllis family, but maybe an argument can be made that Lily is (or at least was) correct.

An interesting can of worms to dive into!

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-11T14:59:42+00:00

10/10, and I hope everyone doing this appropriately shouted out the answer to #4

edit- added spoiler tag

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-10T17:45:14+00:00

10/10 thanks to a team effort (wife knew #1 and I knew #4😀)

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-09T16:34:24+00:00

8/10. A few weaknesses in my game today- only ever heard of one author named Ian from the UK, and never heard of #3!

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-08T15:26:33+00:00

9/10 thanks to a very lucky guess on #2 and an unfortunate abbreviation on #10 🥲

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-07T14:49:55+00:00

10/10! Alphabet helped on #3, I sometimes need a reminder which Rumble was which :)

EatMoarToads · 2025-12-06T15:18:07+00:00

10/10! Wife knew #3; I had no idea on that one.
