I got tripped up by the homo- terms. Also, 44% through the quiz there is a question about terms made from a combination of parts of words in a phrase, such as radar or . The answer given was “acronym” but it is misleading. An acronym is a combination of letters that are spoken as a complete word, such as radar or NATO. More frequently, however, the letters cannot be easily said as a complete word, such as CIA or AI. These are called “initialisms.” Both acronyms and initialisms are types of abbreviations.

You know your stuff when it comes to all the different kinds of word play – and there is a wide, wide variety as you’ve seen here.
Two of my mistakes came from words that I had never heard before. Live and learn, eh.
