Frequently Misspelled Words 20

This set asks you to spell 10 tricky words, each one introduced by a clue.

A prompt such as proof of payment, puzzling, or proliferate points to the word you write out.

An easy one to slip on is truly. It comes from true but quietly drops the e, so there is no "truely" even though your ear expects one. A handful of words do this, and truly is the one people miss most. Its cousin duly behaves the same way, dropping the e from due.

Recommended level: intermediate.
