Merriam-Webster online has some great word games. Vocabulary, True or False, Spelling and Name that Thing.

I did fantastic on Vocabulary, good on Name that thing, ok on True or False, but failed miserably on Spelling.

I used to be so good at spelling. I was in a couple of spelling bees and have always loved words. I think "spell check" has spoiled me and age has stolen some skills from me. Dammit! Same with math too. Basic math is just a virtual or real calculator away. Sigh. I think I'll be playing the spelling game a lot to help hone that skill.

How will you do?

Final Score: 3600 Points!
Caught me on a good day.

Ok, so I've played the spelling game a few times more now. Much better than the first time. It helps that I read the directions and realized I had 15 seconds instead of the 10 seconds on the vocabulary test. Gave me time to retrieve the data from my slow and bloated processor.

The average is 2170 points. That's the sad part.

True. Lately I've been reading news articles in which the word "lead" (a soft metal) has been used as the past tense of a verb - to lead.
