    Test your skill at spelling.

    15 words at a time. Who can get 100% :scratch:

    I put 'rough' when it should have been 'ruff'
    so you have to listen carefully.

    I tried four times.

    The first time I got one word wrong. It was plumb not plum :scratch:

    The second time I got one word wrong. It was plum not plumb :lollol:

    Third time got all right with a score of 203

    Fourth time got all right with a score of 224 :scratch: - must have been quicker the last time :thmb:

    Hint - if you're not sure of the word then you can on 'word help' and get a clue (four clues for each word) but don't know how it affects your score.

    Shiney - hadn't used that 'word help' because I hadn't realised it was there :dh:
    but it is handy :D


    This time 171 - with one wrong

    I don't understant that - 231 - but I spelt half of thum rong! Perhaps it's the modern way - the triumph of speed over accuracy :D

    Edit: thinking about it - I think you get a higher score for doing badly at a hard level than doing well at an easy level.

    Think you're right Peter. I had to listen and use the help button as it could have been
    either of different words that sound the same.

    193 and still got one wrong!:dh:
