Thanks for making this cool quiz!
As an Italian native speaker, I knew I was going to have a little advantage: some uncommon English words, that derive from Latin, can instead be common in Romance languages.
A little knowledge and average guessing skills gave me 7/10. ?
I think you did a lot better than many with a native English tongue. Latin does help.
You got 4 out of 10 right!
Could be better.
