    How good is your speling?

    Just found this 'game' on the dictionary.com website:

    Word Game on most commonly Misspelled Words | Dictionary.com

    You're given about 20 words to decide if they are spelled (spelt) correctly or incorrectly as quick as possible.
    Time is added for every incorrect answer given.

    I can't get a final time below 58 seconds!
    Spelling never was my strong point, but some of these words are infuriating. And they do use the American spelling so "...ize" is often correct.

    How fast can you do it?

    EDIT: I've been swearing at my computer over this one!

        OMG!!! That's really hard. When you're trying to be quick, your mind interprets what's on the screen, especially with the different sized fonts! Arrgghh!!!

        I keep getting a 'C', best time is 48 seconds plus 60 for incorrect answers!!

            Oh few, it was really annoying me because it made me feel retarded!

            Best I managed was 38 seconds, plus 20 seconds for 2 wrong answers. I have played it about 40 times through though and only managed that twice!

            most of my times range from 80-100 seconds.

                          I shouldn't have posted this. I'm a really bad loser and I'm never going to win this one.
