Name an ancient writing system or script
Our answer book holds 48 answers to “Name an ancient writing system or script”, from the first thing anyone would say to names almost nobody would think of. Hieroglyphs, Cuneiform and Runes are what most people type first, so they score the least. It is a fairly short list: only 12 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 35, “Cradle of Civilisation”, of the History mission. The first stages of every mission are free, and later stages come with the full mission.
