British American Spelling Differences: 50-Word Practice

Master the 50 most important British American spelling differences in one practice list — from classic pairs like colour/color and theatre/theater to trickier ones like aluminium/aluminum, cheque/check, and tyre/tire. The words are grouped by spelling pattern (-our vs -or, -re vs -er, -ise vs -ize, double L vs single L, and more) so you learn the rule, not just individual words.

Perfect for B1 and B2 learners preparing for exams with a single standard (IELTS and Cambridge accept both; TOEFL prefers American) or anyone who wants to stop mixing spellings in writing. Listen to each word, read a short example, and type your answer in your preferred standard — the British/American toggle accepts either spelling.
