A desert road at midday
The text, mistakes revealed
Here is the text as players saw it, with its 6 mistakes highlighted and corrected.
We slowly drove down the empty desert road for fourtyforty miles without seeing another car. The midday sun beat down heavily on the dry yellow dirt all around our truck. My father pointed at a very tall green cactus standing alone in the far distance. We stopped the engine to look at the beautyfulbeautiful plants growing in the hot sand. A tiny brown lizard quickly ran across the seperateseparate flat rocks near our front tires. It was a wonderful suprisesurprise to see any moving animals in this intense summer heat. We drank some warm water instedinstead of the sweet soda we left in the cooler. The vast landscape felt truelytruly quiet and peaceful during our short rest that warm afternoon.

The traps in this round
-
fourty →forty
The number 40 is spelled 'forty', without a 'u'.
-
beautyful →beautiful
Change the 'y' in 'beauty' to an 'i' before adding the suffix '-ful'.
-
seperate →separate
Remember that there is 'a rat' in 'separate': s-e-p-a-r-a-t-e.
-
suprise →surprise
Don't forget the first 'r' in 'surprise'.
-
insted →instead
The word 'instead' is spelled with 'ea', just like 'head' or 'bread'.
-
truely →truly
Drop the 'e' from 'true' when adding '-ly' to make 'truly'.
