	Wow, tough but fun! I would suggest accepting modern English as well as Middle English spellings, especially since spelling can vary from manuscript to manuscript. I knew all the words, but didn't manage to hit on the right spelling for "kowthe," "Caunterbury," "droghte," "foweles," or "nyght," and I think someone who types "couth" or "Canterbury" should get credit.

	Thanks Fretful. I wasn't sure when I was putting this together whether to add variations in or not so I just went with exactly what was in the Riverside Chaucer version. I've gone back and edited in some alternate spellings on quite a few, so hopefully it's a bit better now! :)
