Wow, this game is really good. Sometimes a bit ambiguous, but good. 5/5

this is one of my favorite games, it's really quite unique. Very clever idea.

Because people misspell words everyday, the misspelled word becomes accepted. That is why English is called a "living" language.

Unuseful game. Many of the words that the game calls incorrect are in fact valid spellings.

Quite hard game. But very good idea, I would like to see more as well.

Indispensable surprised me! Otherwise really enjoyed this!
Also, a couple of others confused me and when I looked into it, there are two acceptable spellings of harebrained and license, if you consider English spellings as well as American.

You spelled some words wrong.

Each word is either correct or incorrect and only one in each grouping is going to be correctly spelled.
