An English word from an African language
“An English word from an African language” is a question in OnlyClick, and our answer book knows 35 answers to it. Most people go straight for Safari, Zombie or Banana, so those barely lift the rocket. It is a fairly short list: only 9 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
Word questions reward thinking about spelling and sound rather than meaning, so say a few out loud. You will find it in stage 49, “Word Summit”, of the Words mission. The first stages of every mission are free, and later stages come with the full mission.
