What does success mean?

Word: Success

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: Success means doing well at something, or getting the result you hoped for.

Synonyms: victory, achievement

How do you spell success?

Syllables: suc - cess

Tricky part: There are two pairs of twin letters: cc in the middle and ss at the end. The first c sounds like k and the second like s, so children often drop one.

Memory tip: Success is a double win, so it gets double letters twice: cc, then ss.

Success in a sentence
