Spell Bee Word: Caramel


What does caramel mean?

Word: Caramel

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: Caramel means a sweet, sticky, brown treat made from sugar, often with butter and milk; also a light brown colour.

How do you spell caramel?

Syllables: car - a - mel

Tricky part: Many people say it in two beats and then forget the a in the middle. All three beats are written, with a single a between car and the last beat.

Watch out for: carmel, carmell

Memory tip: Clap it as you say it: three claps. The middle clap is just one letter, a, and it must not go missing.
