38,100 if I'm allowed guesses that turned out right. 32,000 if not.

But I have to say that I guessed at the definition of a lot of words based on the fact that they were actually French or had Latin roots I could figure out and hadn't actually read them in English before and didn't know what they meant unless I guessed and checked to see if I was accurate.

I guessed about 8 of those right. I tried again with those unchecked and I was 32,000 so that makes a big difference apparently.

IE: Legerdemain = "Light of Hand" so I guessed "Sleight of Hand".
