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.

RonaldDerGrosse  1 year ago

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