Spelling bee - come and have a go if you think you're hard enough.

Don't know if this has already made an appearance on pedants' corner, but thought I'd stick it on here in case. Be warned, though - don't start playing this if you've got anything important to be getting on with.

My current high score is 504 - all challengers welcome!

498 and trying again!

DadInsteadofMum · 08/05/2009 09:49

395 and I can see a wasted day ahead of me

ZoeC · 08/05/2009 10:01

486... looking less likely the beds will be changed this morning though....

retiredgoth2 · 08/05/2009 10:09

...I got 498, too!

(thinks: I will beat 504....)

ZoeC · 08/05/2009 10:13

That was on the practice on the link, on the 'spelling bee' link on the left you keep going until you get one wrong. Got to 879 on that before typing 'knows' instead of 'nose'

MargaretMountford · 08/05/2009 10:33

this is fab - thanks !

EyeballsisonaDietAgain · 08/05/2009 11:02

Oh thanks a lot. I'm going out for the day in an hour, I'm late already and I've only had one go.

mamadiva · 08/05/2009 11:09

what a great site, thanks for sharing

ProstetnicVogonJeltz · 08/05/2009 12:49

I got -9. surely that is worthy of some sort of award?

Evenstar · 08/05/2009 15:56

This is brilliant my high score was 771 ! I can see this becoming an addiction

LittleWonder · 19/05/2009 17:23

Completely addicted. I have wasted whole days.

SouthernMeerkat · 20/05/2009 20:27

I am totally addicted - great site!! so far I'm at 579, but I misheard sense for sensor....

SouthernMeerkat · 20/05/2009 20:37

702 now......

Bleatblurt · 20/05/2009 20:44

You are all getting 500+ for ONE game?

Or is that your running total so far?

I cannot share my usual game score. It is very very bad.

SouthernMeerkat · 20/05/2009 20:59

ok now I have to stop having broached the 1000 mark (1049)!!

Thanks for the site - have saved it to favourites.....

Bleatblurt · 20/05/2009 21:00

I have 5832, but I've played before.

SouthernMeerkat · 20/05/2009 21:02

That's on the spelling bee where you keep going until you make a mistake....

RustyBear · 20/05/2009 21:08

1995 on Spelling Bee training (137 words) until I didn't check 'cue' - it was actually 'queue'

ronshar · 20/05/2009 21:14

Bugger 40 how crapola is that!!!!

FairMidden · 20/05/2009 21:14

OMG. My life is over. And I thought Online Boggle was bad

BillSilverFoxBuchanan · 20/05/2009 21:26

I wasted hours on this yesterday!

LittleWonder · 20/05/2009 21:28

Come along all pedants. This is our time. I just made myself a little avatar and went fast and furious. Am now 235 in the league tables. but I have started drinking wine and fingers are slipping. time to watch the Apprentice I think. I have about 32,000 score.

FairMidden · 20/05/2009 21:47

Now is one of those times when I swear I'll learn to touch type. I can manage around 55 wpm with my index fingers though so I never stick it out!
