The Trump Administration is not very good at spelling.

Over the past six months, [press releases](http://thehill.com/homenews/news/329162-white-house-snapchat-story-misspells-secretary-of-educatuon), [official statements](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/17/us/politics/walter-shaub-ethics.html), [tweets](http://time.com/4799145/donald-trump-covfefe-meme/) and [other material](https://twitter.com/Levitt%5FMatt/status/866669447133761536) released by the White House and even Trump’s personal attorney have contained typos and misspelled words and names.

This can happen to any public figure, of course, but the rate at which it’s happened in the Trump Administration is notably higher than in past presidencies.

Take this quiz and see if you can spell better than the White House.
