English spelling keeps letters that pronunciation has worn down, so a familiar word can still be easy to mistype. A doubled consonant or a quiet vowel is often the whole difference between the standard form and a common error.

Free quiz, no registration. The result appears as soon as you finish.

Each question offers four spellings of the same word. One is the standard spelling in current English dictionaries. The others are misspellings, not separate words with their own meanings. The quiz uses everyday vocabulary and does not ask for obsolete or specialist forms.

The explanations state the letter pattern that decides the answer. Dictionary pages are listed so the spelling can be checked again. This is a language quiz, not a test of accent, region, or how often a person writes.
