One of the main objectives of the competition was to encourage students to maximize usage of the dictionaries to look for words and their meanings which would enhance their vocabulary. Participation was overwhelming at first as many students handed in their names. However, on the competition day, many students did not turn up. Fortunately, many other students, voluntarily replaced them. This game is interesting and beneficial, and therefore should be held every year. English language teachers also need to expose their students to the game.

As too many students handed in their names, the list has to be shortlisted to 20 participants only. This is identified as the strength of the competituon, it was able to attract many students. However, one of the weaknesses is the difficulties if the words to be spelled out in the first round, resulting in majority of the form one students disqualified at the preliminary round. Therefore, it is to be noted that in future, these two points need to be taken into consideration:- number of participants from each class and the suitability of the level of the words for from preliminary to the final rounds.
