Sick to death of Americanised words in Wheel of Fortune

Oct 5, 2009 by Anton
imageI love tengaged, it's pretty awesome but the challenges are a joke sometimes. Especially Wheel of Fortune.

I am British, woo yeah! And perhaps Randomize doesn't realise that there are many many non-American players on this site that do not know an American brand of mineral water (lost 7800T$ pts because I couldn't get the brand name right in time) or another example is 'Congressional Libary'.

I would accept internationally known iconic things. E.g. Empire State Building or McDonalds. But y'know that's just my take on it.

If you agree with this then plus it, even if you're American and see that it's a little unfair.

Chances are this won't even get noticed because I'm not an enourmous spammer/ suck-up etc but I hope you ask people to plus this is they see my point too.

Perhaps the phrases should remain difficult but be a bit more generic.

I agree, but I'm American & I get foreign ones too.
I got Battle of Hastings & I had no clue what it was.

Ahh yeah that would be shitty. I think an international site should have more generic guess words OR different words available to different regions e.g. Europe and America

I think it all evens out.

Maybe the site can use your IP to tell where you are so you don't get foreign words?

i agree on part of it, obscure american things shouldn't be a puzzle but i'm sure there's some i don't know too. lol
