Tease Apart 15 Confusing English Words with This Fun Quiz

English spelling can be really chaotic and confusing, as some words are just too alike. Take ‘gaff’ and ‘gaffe’, which are pronounced the same, but the former is a type of weapon, whereas the latter is a social misstep, a faux pas, if you will. In fact, entire lists of commonly confused English words exist, and those were created for a reason, as many people do, in fact, find it difficult to know which of the two or even three words to use in which sentence. Are you among those people? Or can you succeed at picking the right word every time? This quiz seems easy, as all you have to do is to fill in the blank in 15 sentences, but beware, appearances are deceiving, and to win this quiz, you need both a deep knowledge of the English language and a keen eye for detail.
