Abstract

In various areas of everyday life, especially in official writing practice and public life, and even
in academic life, we all strive to apply the rules of Hungarian orthography with special attention.
Also, spelling competence is often necessary for work and when using IT tools. The aim of the
Zsigmond Simonyi spelling contest in the Carpathian basin is to strengthen sensitivity to spelling
problems and to develop spelling as a communication device. The competition for gifted and
talented students provides an opportunity for the best students to compare their orthographic
knowledge from year to year. The first part of this study discusses the main types of spelling
exercises. The second part provides a selection of over a hundred exercise types, materials of the
contest, running for seventeen years, and links them to specific topics in spelling. The key to the
quoted exercises is available in the supporting documents attached to this article.
