Frequently Asked Questions about this site:
1. Question: Where are the answers to the "spelling quizzes?"
Answer: The answers for quizzes in the "spelling quizzes" section
are not posted. Those quizzes
are used by instructors of college classes, home-schooling, and other programs

If you are studying at home you can instead use the "practice quizzes"
or the "animated spelling quizzes" which provide answers for you to check your progress.
