Having been a miserable speller most of my life (Heck, if I could spell I'd be working for a newspaper!) I really appreciated this exercise, which I easily passed, by the way. Did you? The Homer Simpson widget can be found here...he'll write whatever you want on the board!

  1. I read it easily. As long as the first and last letters remain the same its easy to do.

    I've always been a good speller....but I constantly screw up on le and el. Always.
