A variety of challenging words are included, in fields ranging from science and technology (amyloid, blogospehere) to cooking (fattoush, focaccia) to contemporary culture (feng shui, sudoku). Brief definitions differentiate words that are likely to be confused (biweekly, semiweekly). Additional features explain the basic rules of spelling, the rules for forming plurals and compound words, and sound-spelling corresondences.
