Here is a good website if you are interested in spelling words. Fifteen words are spoken and you have to spell them in the quickest possible time: 282 is my current highest score

wow what a cool game ... 191 so far .... it's quite clever the way in which it picks the next word to let you know that you're a plonker for getting previous one wrong....

Yippee I got 15 out of 15, but only scored 210, some of the words were wrong and my typo corrections delayed me  |

Hmm. All 15 correct and 234 scored. I can type, but not that quickly! _________________ Ron |

I am still enjoying this spelling site. The only problem I have with it is that the male person saying the words is sometimes indistinct which means that you have to use the repeat facility and you lose time overall.  |

Hi Briant,
I noticed that too. I turned up the treble on my speakers and it helped a little.
