About this quiz

A spelling test in reverse: instead of writing the word, you judge it. The six fakes are the kind of slip that gets past a tired proofreader, such as a doubled letter dropped or two vowels swapped.

  • The misspelled words on this board should read successful, speech and strength, among others.
  • No word appears twice, so a correct spelling never gives a wrong one away.
  • The board is shuffled for each game, and everyone gets the same first board each day.
  • Spellings follow the main entry in the dictionary; where British and American spellings differ, the word was left out.
