72. Most of the problems I had was not being sure what the noun form of a word is that I'm used to seeing as a verb.

82. Would have been a bit higher but I hit the button too quickly realizing it was/wasn't a word.

Got 75% the first time because I said no to some words like "cousinly" that, though sounding like they could technically be words, did not strike me as something that would be in a dictionary.

Took it again using a more lenient mindset and got 88% (you get different words each time, btw).

I got 75% because this is also how I interpreted it. Whether of not I knew what the word meant. There were a few that looked reasonable but I didn't know them so I didn't click. Had one that wasn't a word that I thought was. Spelling was a bit off.
You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.
