The Spelling Bee Podcast

In this episode of the Spelling Bee Podcast, host Neely Quinn tackles words that trip up even the most confident spellers — everyday words that most of us use all the time but quietly misspell without ever realizing it. 
As always, you'll get each word, its definition, and a sentence — and you'll have until the end of the sentence to spell it out loud, write it down, or work it out in your head. Then Neely reveals all the correct spellings at the end, with some fun facts along the way about why these particular words are so sneakily hard to get right.
Plus there's a bonus anagram at the end — seven scrambled letters, one satisfying word to unscramble.
