Spelling Bee
Welcome to the Visual Thesaurus Spelling Bee!
Test your spelling skills and improve your vocabulary with the Visual Thesaurus Spelling Bee. Click the button below to get started!
Here's how it works:
- We'll play you a recording of a word (and show you the definition), you try to guess the spelling.
- The more words you get right, the harder the words get.
- Only your first guess counts towards your score. After that, you can keep trying to spell a word correctly without penalty.
- After your second guess, we'll start to give you hints.
- After three incorrect guesses, you can press the "I Surrender" button to reveal the correct spelling.
- Scores are on a scale of 200 to 800. Your score (and rank) will update after every five words you complete.
- No cheating (please)!
Wear your headphones!
Hearing the subtleties in the pronunciations can really help improve your score, so we recommend that you wear headphones while playing.
Can playing the spelling bee improve my vocabulary?
Yes! Not only is the Visual Thesaurus Spelling Bee a fun and addictive challenge, it's also a great way to expand your knowledge of English vocabulary. While you're playing the game, you're learning new words by hearing the pronunciations and seeing the definitions and word maps. And since the game adapts to your skill level, you're guaranteed to come across challenging vocabulary items regardless of your age or proficiency.
