- "Το μέγιστο σπίτι."

το μεγαλύτερο instead of το μεγιστο is much more frequently used, so I think it should be included
For the life of me I've never heard anyone using το μέγιστο in Greece in order to say "the biggest" in the context of size. A more accurate translation would be "the maximum".

Well, unfortunately us Greek learners would say things like this because we learned them here. :/
If this isn’t the most correct way of saying “the biggest house,” then perhaps it would be better to leave it out of the upcoming Greek tree.
the biggest home (σπιτι can be both house but also home as far as I know), would be good to add the choice I think
Is there any difference in shade of meaning between μέγιστο and μεγαλύτερο?

In other lessons we have learned that the same word is used for the comparative and the superlative , the difference being the use of the definite article, and that what used to be the superlative now tends to be translated as "the very [adjective]". Is "biggest" a unique exception? Is the other advice wrong?
Your comment would be a lot more helpful if you quoted exactly what you mean with “the Duolingo answer”; identified which part(s) of it you think are wrong and why; and provided a suggested correction.
