9/13. Some tricky ones there!

there are two words which may be hyphenated in the US but are NOT hyphenated in most of the English speaking world. Therefore, in both instances, two correct answers. E.g. bingewatch and facepalm.

8 / 13. Amazing! You know your new words pretty well! If I got the hyphenated ones correct then I would have had 10 correct! Good quiz!

To hyphenate or not to hyphenate, that is the question.
