It won't let me do the files. It can't pronounce the hard words correctly either.

2. Shins

3. Winded

4. Underscore

5. Quilt

6. Surveillance

7. Aster

foci is the plural of the noun form of focus
shins are the plural common word for the front of the lower leg/tibia bone
quilt is a large heavy blanket, usually made of patchwork fabric
xeric is apparently an adjective to describe dry environments
aster is a flower, and a greek/latin word for star

why is aster yellow it's literally easy to spell with that tts

There are two voices used in this round. One American and one British.

Number 10 having two different pronunciations probably gave it away LMAO.

Apparently I should've put word 8 as the boss but who cares now.

BTW the final word is worth 3 million points so you may want to do some more thinking.

@WitherMite: The spell check may give false alarms on some words.

I think in that case, it'd be fair to ask to hear it in a sentence

Who will take the 3 million points this round? We'll see.

I found a word that's worth 500+ million points but I am 99.99% sure that no one will get it right. It's so hard that the spell check underlines it and the actual spelling is weird too.

But then I'd have to work with more stuff and some people might consider it unfair because I'm not going to check the pronunications of all their answers.
