Please accept "Boudica" or "Boudicca" for B), as those are both common spellings, especially in the U.S.

Level 83

Agreed all other quiz that feature her accept these spellings

Level 43

Any chance of accepting 'Boudicea'? I knew what I meant, just impossible to spell that one!

Level 82

Jun 6, 2021

I gave up after Boudicca was misspelled.

Level 60

Lots of Boudicca spellings possible. Also two typos, 'emporer' and 'godess'.

Not to mention 'Hadrien'....
