Expert Spelling Quiz 1

1 Response | Created by merviedz |

This spelling quiz consists of words considered expert in difficulty, a rating between 3 and 4 on my scale, which roughly corresponds to under a tenth of a percent of the best spellers among all fluent English speakers. Unlike my general spelling quizzes, this one is meant to fine-tune one's spelling ability, and unlike my less difficult quizzes a bracketed etymology is given. The definition is after a colon for ease of reading.
