[General] Please rate this name idea for my gaming app.

In BrE, "ickle" is how a baby or toddler might say "little", so "Quizickle" would work for short (small) quizzes, while still being a pun on "quizzical".

You're on to something!

How about quiz-ickle. That seems slightly amusing to me, but the joke probably works only in AmE. It's meant to be a play on popsicle and quizzical.

It's great! Hyphen? A double-z? Decisions, decisions.

There must be a marketing consultant who will iron out the details at $450 an hour. . . . .

NOT A TEACHER

Ezen Mar, when you do start your quiz app, you might want to include this question: What is the origin of the word "quiz"?

Which reminds me of the ultimate trivia question: Where does the word trivia come from?

(Yogi Berra: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it!")

That's amazing, probus—quizzicle (with this spelling) is exactly what I was going to suggest!

Not only is it a play on the word 'quizzical', the suffix has the sense of being a little item. I think it's a great suggestion. It works just as well in all varieties of English.

I am not a native English speaker. Some things are difficult for me.

What do you think about "Quizlix" as a name for a simple quiz app (games, puzzles and quizzes)?
What does "Quizlix" mean?
Does it sound good? Does it make sense?

The main purpose of the "Quizlix" question is to make sure it is not an ugly name or, accidentally, an inappropriate word.

Why are we licking quizzes?
