Expanding your vocabulary is easy, as there are many ways to learn a language. One of the best ways is through reading, of course. The next best thing to do may be online quizzes like this.

Having a wide repertoire of English words to tap into does not only come in handy in creative writing, but it also helps you sound smarter and wiser in conversation. That doesn't mean that memorizing a plethora of fancy words will instantly help you impress your friends and family. You should know what a word actually means before putting it to use so that you won't commit a faux pas.

Wanna know if you have a sufficient range of English vocabulary? Quizly has got you covered. Let's go back to basics and see if you are well-versed with the meaning of some common words. Think you can ace this quiz? Without any further ado, get ready to challenge yourself and put your English knowledge to the test.

    Same result as last time, and just like last time I feel that I have been cheated out of a perfect
    score. Please change the question where the “correct” answer is “arid.” Thank you.

    Actually it’s 20 out of 20 – one of the answers is wrong – it should be ‘docile’ – ‘arid’ means dry!!!

    Actually there was a faulty clue given that yielded
    my only misfire. As another quiz taker has pointed
    out below, the clue that gave the answer “arid”
    is not entirely accurate and needs to be changed.

      I agree! That’s the only one I missed. There were a couple more with potentially more than one correct answer.

    Mouse finger out of control on one, another I felt I chose the right word but it wasn’t. The English language has many words that can be considered synonyms but there are nuances in the usage. Sometimes the question just doesn’t quite match the answer given.
