Games that make you feel dumb



http://www.sporcle.com/games/hurleygirlie7023/states_novowels


I feel really dumb right now.  I really should have gotten more than I did.  I think I was overthinking.


edit - I really am dumb...

    And by "dump," I assume you mean "dumb"---if not, I don't get it.

    no... I posted and then went to play another game.  I came back and just shook my head.

  • Fischey, you beat me, AND I overcooked the bacon because I didn't want to get up. I'm dump too.
  • It helps that I have the states memorized in alphabetical order, so I just did it that way. ;)

  • I really am dyslectic.  So when I type too fast I will misspell the same word over and over again.

    That is one reason I do not participate some discussion.  I cannot type and edit fast enough to keep up the the thread.

  • I kinda wondered....that was a "typical" dyslexic clue.
