I like the idea, it's fun, addictive. Well designed. But it's too easy if all the questions are being answered correctly by 95% of users... I'm at Level 5, 75 points, and all the questions (save one) so far were aced by >95% of players. (For that one question, which 45% got correct, I had to think pretty hard though). And it would be more challenging with more fonts. And up the challenge -- compare more sans-to-sans and serif-to-serif for instance.

Agreed - too easy. I didn't miss one and got up to level 5, 93 points. 3rd-4th level should be comparing sans-serif to sans-serif, not serif to monospace. IMHO. Make it harder! Cool site, though.

As you get to higher levels you get more fonts unlocked, plus lower case letters, and other challenges. It gets harder :)

Agreed. After level 1, it's a bit silly to give a serif and sans-serif choice for a letter, unless it's O.

level 5 is very early in the game and we wanted to err on the side of starting off very easy
