From today's Times Online:-

If at first you don't succeed, you can try again with different words.

Please Note: You'll need to have your computer sound/headphones on to hear the words. :)

i got to 9 words first try but i missed a letter by typing too fast. second turn it came out with preternatural, never even heard of the word, next try it said what, but ahhhhhh it was watt!!! stupid game, i know i should have looked at the meaning but no need to try and trick me!

I had a problem with the word "mist". I used the word "missed". :)

I relied on the sound of words, and didn't seek the word's definition.

Which goes to show how some words need to be placed within a meaningful phrase or sentence in order for the brain to recognize the spoken word. ;)

first go 14 out of 15, 2nd go 15 out of 15

Is it sad that I'm looking forward to being at home so I can try this?

Boooooooooo.

I had three attempts and got 15 out of 15 on each attempt. Spelling is the only thing I am good at though. :D

i'm going to try again tomorrow and look at the meanings too lol

Loved this - sent it to myself at work and we've all been having a go this afternoon. Thanks Shoeshine :thumbsup:

9 , :blush:, who ever invented spell checkers want a medal.

Thanks a bunch, Shoeshine - I am now addicted to 'Spelling Bee' . :hihi:

I like it, but I get words wrong because I either can't make out what they're saying properly or I spell it right, but it's not the word they wanted. Like somebody said above missed/mist. I got cord instead of chord. But both are right!

My best score so far has been 229.

I got 11 out of 15 but 2 I miss heard cause of the stupid computer voice even after clicking listen again 3 times. As if I didn't know how to spell bottom or consultative - put button and consultancy :rolleyes: . Never heard the word fusillade or ubiquotus.

Best score I've had so far is 168 15/15.

Both times 14 from 15 both times for the wrong words: wine not whine (been on the forum too long) rung not run.

Such a relief that it's English spellings though.

Three hundred and fifteen.

15/15 - 204.
14/15 - 237. Missed contretemps :roll: .

seven hundred and four

14/15 - 219 :(

Thanks a bunch, Shoeshine - I am now addicted to 'Spelling Bee' . :hihi:

Me too :thumbsup:

I really must try to get a life! :blush:

I got 11 out of 15, but i thought it said Hulk, when it was Hawk :hihi:

They fooled me too. I thought she said 'packed' but it was 'pact' apparently. :mad:
