About this challenge
Idiom Challenge is an original implementation created for Word Trail. The question order, answer choices and simple explanations were written for this site. Standard expressions and meanings were checked against Cambridge Dictionary, its official blog and EF’s English learning resources.
Each solved idiom includes a source link. No commercial game question bank, images, music or third-party game package is used. See sources and licenses, or report a question or bug.
