       Challenger, challengee or challenge-taker?

       You probably know I love challenges (such as 30-Day Language
       Challenges) and I participate in a couple of them, therefore I
       see myself as a “participant” but recently I came across the
       word “challenger” and it doesn’t sound right to me.
       I have the impression “challenger” would be the person that
       proposes the challenge.
       But how to name the participants?
       Challengee? Is it common?
       Challenge-taker? This suggestion doesn't seem popular.
       Contestant doesn’t seem right, as there’s no competition
       involved.
       Any suggestion?

       I agree with your 'participant.'
