I just found a site I had never seen before and it has some very unusual words. It is a multiple choice test and the object is to give the correct definition for the words (there are 12, at least that is how many there were when I took the quiz). I enjoyed it.

Zero of those words are in my working vocabulary, nor will they ever be.

Thank you - that was fun. I didn't realize it was timed at first, but I got all of the ones I answered.

Remember The White Rose
"“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha

I had never seen most of those words but could figure some out from context and roots. Got lucky with some guesses and I think I only missed two.

Yes, I thought they should increase the time on that at least five more seconds.
