SpellingAttention to detail

💡 Read the word out loud — spelling mistakes are sometimes more obvious by sound than by sight.
💡 Watch for common mix-ups, like swapped double letters or the classic "ie/ei" confusion.
💡 The 4 options are deliberately similar — take your time before answering.
💡 If no option jumps out right away, rule out the ones with accent or letter-doubling mistakes first — those are usually easier to spot.

Misspellings caused by swapping look-alike letters or letter pairs are among the most common in both English and Portuguese.

Does the game show the wrong or the right spelling first?

It shows the misspelled version, and you pick the correct spelling among the options.

Does this actually help improve spelling?

Yes — repeatedly recognizing the correct spelling is one of the most effective ways to make it stick.

Do the wrong options follow any pattern?

Yes, they usually mirror common real-world spelling mistakes, not random errors.
