My sister sent this vocabulary test over the holidays, and our family went nuts for it. Since I know a bunch of you are word nerds, too, I wanted to share it…
Take the quiz here, and leave your score below!
P.S. Can you read emotions?
38,900 words. Okay for someone with no degree…

Ha ha, that was fun — 38,800. I read many books (I have a dusty house to prove it) in many subjects but never saw the majority of words in the last column, yikes. Who uses those words in ordinary conversation? I think a colleague of my husband’s used “epigonic” in a sentence but he’s Italian. I’m 55, Chinese descent but grew up in NY since 3yrs old. Currently living in Europe.
What fun! Passing this test on right away. I know approximately 34,100 words. And now I know a few more, thanks to looking up the words I didn’t know. I do read A LOT, but that doesn’t necessarily correlate with a large vocabulary. Cool!
14 000 but I’m french ;)
Cool test, thanks !
21,600. 39 yrs old. College grad. I better do something about this…I’m too old to be so limited.

32,500! oh my gosh! it must be because i read so much. I love to read!
10.500 :( But english is my second language and I’ve never been to an english speaking country… so I guess I’m fine :P
That was fun! I am definitely a “word nerd.”
I got 25,700, which looks pretty average from skimming over the other comments. I always thought I had a relatively large vocabulary – guess I’m not as loquacious as I thought! ;)
21,800. Hasn’t been an issue yet! (0;
35,000 words, and whoa! That last line was TOUGH!!
I got 20,300 and am embarrassed! I’ll just tell myself I was too brutally honest and didn’t check ones that I probably knew… ;/
31,200 – but I’ve just been studying with my 5th grade daughter for the spelling bee!
33,100, but it would be better if I read more. You learn a lot of weird words when you study poetry–I forgot I knew “oneiromancy” until today.
