    C'mon. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?? Where does that appear in the O.E.D.? You might as well as used "bumdiddlediddledlddledumdiddleai" or "Expelliarmus".

    Got one wrong because I did it too quickly. 4 is spelt differently in British and American English, and oddly both versions are given, so I don't know if the American spelling gets marked as correct or not. Patients is the correct spelling of a different word! Never heard of 14 - had to look that one up.

    Without context, several alternative spellings are valid words: secrete - to hide; crotchet - musical note; busyness - the state of being busy; patients - ill people.

    Yes, but you can usually figure out which one they want. Crochet is obviously the correct answer, so crotchet can't be. Business was spelled incorrectly several times so "busyness" wasn't what they were looking for. Sometimes it's a process of elimination because most of the misspellings are very obvious.
