Guess the definition game - egoplant - 2013-05-19

I had an idea for a game, I'm not sure how well it will work though. The idea is to post a Japanese definition of a word, and other people try and guess it. The person who gets it right posts the next definition.

To keep it easier for people who aren't really advanced, I would say limit it to something on this list (about ~1500 vocabulary):

We could expand it later if it ends up being too easy.

You can get definitions here:

http://dic.yahoo.co.jp/

Here is the first definition for someone to guess:
周囲が水で囲まれている陸地。
