It gives you the result but I can't see that it tells you what you did wrong.

 

This is annoying because I scored 10/12 and I want to know why

[SNSUN]

On the results page there's a 'show results' button near the bottom.

 

i got 8 ffs. And spelling was always my strong point...

[rallyboy]

I got twelve.

 

 

 

 

Course I didn't!

But some smug fantasist always comes on claiming to have done better than anyone else.

That is a tough set of words, some of which I would avoid using as I'm not certain how to spell them!

Too true. Like the best holiday or worst airports threads - people try and compete for the most obscure location to prove what a Bear Grylls jetsetter they are (aka stay in Holiday Inn).

 

I got 8 when I thought I'd got 11.

I got 13, they awarded me special bonus point for getting them so quickly. Anyone who can't get all 12 ought to be embara- embarrase-... ashamed

[Ken Tone]

Well I got the B - E- E bit, but what were all those other words about?

[Goatboy]

Tenn.

[Marsdinho]

I got 12 out of 12, but I used spell checker before submitting my answers.

[sandwichsaint]

Just the 8 for me two.

[tpbury]

Blocks. Only got 7 and I am the office pedant. Am quite droink tho.

[The9]

Eleven, never realised I didn't know how to spell... the one about Egyptians.

[Hamilton Saint]

That was a tough set. I am an excellent speller, but only got 8 correct.

[Bath Saint]

That was a tough set. I am an excellent speller, but only got 8 correct.

 

Then you are not an excellent speller. Piece of the proverbial ****. I got an easy 12/12 - made all the easier by it being multiguess.
