The children are back in school (in person or remotely) and that means testing. I was walking through the classroom (also known as our living room) this week and overheard my daughter taking a spelling test. She was being provided with spoken words and had to type them in response.
The words were provided with context, but it occurred to me that some of them might have alternate definitions. Here’s a little compilation of words (including compound words) and meanings…. and for a follow-up, the same exercise using Pokemon names instead of actual words. Try to identify which numbers match up with the letters for each group.
