This isn't your first rodeo or your first spelling bee. In fact, it might be your 10th or 11th. You're an ace speller, a champion of the language, the one first grader who eagerly anticipated those Friday spelling tests. And if one of those didn't come back a 100, chances are, it was more likely the teacher's fault than yours. That's why you're here: the challenge of spelling, not just regular of tough words, but monumentally tough words.
Are you game enough to dive into this challenge to spell 17-letter words? If so, you're at pro levels of spelling. These are words so long they're more like multi-step equations than they are just words. You'll have to know prefixes, suffixes, Greek and Latin roots, connotations, and the various specialty words and dialects that aren't often heard outside of their small niches. But for an ace speller like you, that's no trouble.
Can you tackle this difficult test of linguistic dexterity? Do you have what it takes to grab hold of these tricky, roundabout terms, and nail every letter like a stunt pilot flying through hoops? You may think you're the coolest kid in English class (or on the crossword circuit), but not until you can dive all over this quiz will you be sure of your mastery.
