ABSTRACT:
A spelling game in which words are randomly selected from a storage device and spelled by one or more players. The words are subdivided according to difficulty. A first player selects a difficulty level and a word is randomly selected from the appropriate section of storage. The word is pronounced and defined by a second player. The first player then spells the word. Other players may then contest the spelling and spell the word. Points appropriate to the difficulty level are added to the score of players who correctly spell the word and are subtracted from the score of players who incorrectly spell the word. The process is repeated with each player having an opportunity to be the first speller.
