Frequently asked questions

Are these questions about spelling or word meaning?

They focus on recognizing the standard written form. Vocabulary meaning is a separate skill.

Can English spellings vary by region?

Yes. This set avoids questions whose answer depends only on a common US-versus-UK spelling difference.

Does recognition guarantee I can spell a word from memory?

No. After a round, try writing a missed word without looking at the options.

Why are doubled consonants useful to check?

A missing or extra repeated consonant is a common difference between the correct form and a distractor.

Is an automatic spell-checker enough for every situation?

No. It can miss correctly spelled words used in the wrong context. Read the complete sentence too.
