Spell Bee Word: Droplet


Basic Details

Word: Droplet

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: A very small drop of liquid, such as a tiny bead of water or dew.

Synonyms: bead, drop

How to Spell Droplet

Syllables: drop - let

Tricky part: Drop keeps its single p, even though some words double the last letter before an ending. The end is let, not lit.

Watch out for: dropplet, droplit, droplett

Memory tip: Let is a little-thing ending, as in piglet and booklet. A small drop is a drop + let.

Usage Examples

Example 1: Droplets of dew sparkled on the spider web in the garden.

Example 2: When you sneeze, tiny droplets fly into the air, so cover your mouth.

Example 3: A droplet of ink fell on my new notebook.

Fun Fact

Cloud droplets are far smaller than raindrops; roughly a million of them have to join together to make a single raindrop.
