Master Spelling Quiz 1

13 Responses | Created by merviedz |

This spelling quiz consists of words considered masterful in difficulty, a rating between 4 and 5 on my scale, which roughly corresponds to the one-in-a-million spelling elite. A score above fifty percent is very rare. 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.
