Commonly Misspelled Words Quiz

omg can't believe I missed Celsius and Camouflage.. 17/28 first try

nice quiz. would enjoy more like this.

i'm not having a go i'm just saying that i've never heard of a Yarmulke, what is it/are they?

It's probably tougher after seeing an incorrect spelling rather than just hearing the word.

Archeology is a legitimate alternate spelling of archaeology

A yarmulke is the little round head cover that Jewish men wear.

Yeah I second archeology being legit. Loved this quiz, btw.

I have no idea why I know how to spell yarmulke, but it helped me get 28/28!

I could probably spell some of these correctly, but seeing the incorrect spelling threw me off a little. Good quiz!

sweet 28/28 my second try!

I like it 17/28. However i had to fight the urge not to right click on the misspelled word and auto-correct it!

@geoquizpro: A yarmulke is the skullcap worn especially by Orthodox and Conservative Jewish males in the synagogue and the home.

Very hard when the wrong spelling is right in front of you... Especially racing against the clock O_O I only got 21/28.

johnnyaitch is exactly right. I had to stop looking at the word and close my eyes to visualize it. Once you see it misspelled it completely throws you off. Great quiz!

I also agree with it being harder when looking at the word. Also I know what a yarmulke is and how to spell it. I just didn't know what word you were going for.

Huh. Under "Yamaka", I was thinking the ATV brand.

I was stumped by "segway", since a segway is a thing. But to be fair, I wasn't familiar with the spelling of segue either.

Oh that segue. @ctleng76 me too

you should be more specific with segue. i thought it meant the motorized vehicle

No, keep the "segway" hint the way it is, It's their own fault if they're not aware that it's not just the vehicle and that the vehicle's spelling is constantly used as that of the actually word. 24/28 on my first try; the only ones I missed were the ones that I didn't realize were words in the first place.

segue - a smooth and direct transistion, and that's not a dictionary definition. that's just the context in which I have always heard it.

actually it's used in music composition quite a bit. but there are many apps for it.

Yakamale got me. never heard of that. And from what you are describing, I thought that was a kippah.?

28/28 first try

Got all of 'em on the first go round!

I agree with all of the clues and answers to this quiz! Also got 100%

That is so much harder when you read the word already misspeled. lol

I didn't spell paraphernalia, indispensable, and prerogative. I can't believe I misspelled somersault...

I got 14/28 but I got Yamulke...it's a Jewish thing :)

Seeing Hallelujah spelled hallaluja, i couldn't even figure out what the word was xD

archeology is an actually thing.. its: "the study of human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artifacts and other physical remains." so you should probably change the miss spelling to a different form of archaeology.

Archaeology is a legitimate spelling.

I know what a yarmulke is, but i would never connect with yamaka. never heard of that spelling

I thought I would breeze through this. It's much harder than it looks.

16/28 I'm so proud of myself. Considering I sing the Hallelujah Chorus every year in Choir, it's kind of shaming that I coultn't figure out how to spell it.
