英英辞典の定義文から単語を推測するクイズは昔からあり、入試問題になったこともあります。
たとえばa large area of water surrounded by landというロングマン英英辞典の定義を示されてlake（湖）であると判断することは多くの高校生に可能と思います。 しかし、大学入試レベルの英単語の意味を定義文のみから推測するのはかなり難しいです。

以下は、試用頂いた塾からお寄せ頂いた感想です。
☆☆☆
早速今週やらせてみたんですが、いやー反応が良かったですよ！
最初は普通に実施するのではまずいかなと思っていたんです。
生徒からしてみたら「急にどうしてこれを？」となるでしょうから。
しかし、意図を説明する文面を作る暇がなくて、結局、いただいたサンプルをそのままコピーしてやらせてみたのでした。
まだ全員に聞きまわれてはいませんが、
○□高3年のある女子は、
「これ楽しい！またやりたい」と笑顔で答えていましたし、
現在、センター過去問で8割ぐらい取る△○高3年の男子も同じことを言ってました。
お前ももっとやってみたいと思うか？と聞くと「はい、やってみたいです！」と。
いやーなんとも制作者冥利に尽きる言葉ですよね。（注：私が作ったわけではありませんが…）
私もいくつか問題を作るのでわかるのですが、もし「またやりたい」なんて生徒から言われたら、私だったらうれしくて涙が出ますよ。
正直普通の高校生にこれほど受け入れられるとは思いませんでした…（失礼）

以下は、試用頂いた塾からお寄せ頂いた感想です。

早速今週やらせてみたんですが、いやー反応が良かったですよ！
最初は普通に実施するのではまずいかなと思っていたんです。
生徒からしてみたら「急にどうしてこれを？」となるでしょうから。
しかし、意図を説明する文面を作る暇がなくて、結局、いただいたサンプルをそのままコピーしてやらせてみたのでした。
まだ全員に聞きまわれてはいませんが、
○□高3年のある女子は、
「これ楽しい！またやりたい」と笑顔で答えていましたし、
現在、センター過去問で8割ぐらい取る△○高3年の男子も同じことを言ってました。
お前ももっとやってみたいと思うか？と聞くと「はい、やってみたいです！」と。
いやーなんとも制作者冥利に尽きる言葉ですよね。（注：私が作ったわけではありませんが…）
私もいくつか問題を作るのでわかるのですが、もし「またやりたい」なんて生徒から言われたら、私だったらうれしくて涙が出ますよ。
正直普通の高校生にこれほど受け入れられるとは思いませんでした…（失礼）
