I kept typing in "Elbereth" because I know that it is mentioned dozens of times. I think there is something wrong with the counting.
I also didn't think about Durin or Helm Hammerhand or those types - I failed all the orc names too, except for Ugluk (and I kept typing Grishnakh with varying orthography). And I actually had to look up who the hell Arvedui even was. And this is from a Tolkien geek who even played the Middle Earth Roleplaying Game in the late 1980s.

Re: Basically I think we are judging by importance of role/status. The game judges by number.
