I think this new game is a lot evener than the last one we played.

Really? I found the last one to be more balanced overall.

Yeah, but this one seems to level the playing field even more.

That's true! It makes it more fun for everyone.

Root Explanation

Evener → It is formed from "even" (from Old English "efen", meaning level or equal) and "-er" (meaning a person who). The word "evener" refers to a person or thing that makes something level or equal.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who makes things 'level' ('even') — the '-er' indicates that this person is doing the action. An evener is someone who levels things out.
