  • ue, as in clue.
  • ew, as in chew.

The J sound

Two major rules:
  • Before a, o, or u the /j/ sound is spelled with j.
    Some examples are jam, job and just.
  • Before e, i or y the sound is spelled with g.
    Some examples are gem, ginger and gym.

  • The K sound is spelled with C if the next vowel is a, o or u. Examples are scale, corn and cut.
  • The K sound is spelled with K if the next vowel is e or i. Examples are key and kid.
Those are the most common spellings of the K sound.

The CH sound

May be spelled in several ways, but the general rule is that The sound /ch/ has two spellings: tch after a short vowel, ch anywhere else. The two most common spellings are therefore ch and tch.

Calculation of knowledge points

In Correct spelling, the maximum number of collectable gold medals is 10. You only earn knowledge points for levels that has not been cleared before. A cleared level has a green background above. Even when you have completed a level, you can continue practicing at that level, but it gives you no more knowledge points.
