Are you looking for words with complicated spelling? 
Here are very long words for the difficult level of the spelling bee competition:
Honorificabilitudinitatibus
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Antidisestablishmentarianism
Floccinoccinihilipilification
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

(Is the title of my blog grammatically correct? I think it isn't. A superlative adjective cannot describe a plural noun. On the second thought aren't there exemptions?)

  1. These words are really difficult to spell and pronounce as well. I would love to have a look on someone who could spell all of these posted words without even knowing the terms. :)

  6. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and
    Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis are both familiar to me. My teacher told us that Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious means "simply wonderful", and actually, it is a song. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, I think, is a scientific term that mostly memorized by nurses (it's only a guess).

  7. The longer the word, the more complicated it becomes. Thanks for sharing the trivia.
