I don't know shit about Arabic roots, so I have no idea if I get credit for "smartest."

I don't know either... I just copied the instructions exactly from the place I found the quiz. I think "smartest" works even if it isn't from Arabic roots because no one here knows the difference!

It's no less Arabic than "mattress," anyway:)
