An English word that comes from Malay or Indonesian
Our answer book holds 41 answers to “An English word that comes from Malay or Indonesian”, from the first thing anyone would say to names almost nobody would think of. The answers that come to mind first are Amok, Bamboo and Batik. They count, but they keep you close to the ground. It is a fairly short list: only 10 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
Run through the alphabet in your head. It is slow, but it finds the words that do not come to mind by themselves. 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.
