2022 Round-up

There are over a million word lists on Spellzone. Every word list can be used in a variety of online and offline activities. Each month in 2022, we shared 3 word lists for students to use when practising their spellings: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December.
We added to our Commonly Confused Words series. This year we looked at: Creak vs. Creek, Fair vs. Fare, Knight vs. Night, Real vs. Reel, Right vs. Rite vs. Write, Sea vs. See, and Which vs. Witch. Have you seen this list of all our Commonly Confused Words posts?
We continued our 10 Words series by sharing synonyms for good and surprised. We looked at 10 egg-themed words for Easter and we updated the list of our 10 Words blog posts from over the years.
As always, we shared plenty of tips:
