Krull-er. Like "duller", I suppose.
For me, it's "crueller"--long 'u'.

Like Cruella de Ville?
The Internet Test Quiz got indexed, too.
PS: I don't have an accent

hahaha, I know I'm English but I thought it would be amusing....
A contraption that you push round a supermarket is neither a buggy or a cart or a carriage, it's a trolley
So, a Yorkshirewoman has to wonder...
Not all the questions were really Briton-friendly, e.g. not allowing for "shopping trolley" or "trainers" ( and what on earth is a "cruller?"), but here's what I might be in terms of a US accent:

You comin' down t'chippeh, y'all?
Were there any questions you were totally lost on, Kate?
I had no idea what "cruller" was, none of the terms for 'an easy class' were anything I would use, and I've never said "tennis shoes" in my life but I took it to be more of a British equivalent than (shudder) "sneakers".
I remember reading Roald Dahl books when I was younger and seeing references to 'sneakers' and 'pants' and I thought they meant, respectively, jogging trousers and underwear
Not totally lost, but the very idea of covering a house in loo roll was somewhat alien to me. Yes, I went for "tennis shoes" as a lesser of evils, too.

What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

Couple that should be but are not mentioned -
I hang my clothers on a hang-guh
I drink war-dah
And if you are requested to come close I say git-ovah-heer
But be sure to close da daw on the way.
That sounds like you're from New England, not NYC. I wish they'd had a question for "water" and "wash," too; "warsh," especially, seems to be common in pockets of the Midwest.
Another one that I get teased for at work here on the East Coast is the Midwestern habit of appending useless prepositions to questions: "Where are you at?" "Where are you going to?" I never even noticed that I did it.
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.
