Melvyn has developed a Big Suffix Checker flowchart for
suffixing stems and base elements. The variant available here is an
experimental Interactive Suffix Checker for the web.
It helps spell individual complex words correctly; but it also
helps see more generally how the elements of a word sum are modified
when they're brought together in their finished word. The principles
can be used and re-used repeatedly.
The snapshot shows a typical screen from the original interactive version. The current running version should respond when you click on the 'Start' button. If not, your browser probably objects to the internal coding. The trouble shooting page can help if that's the case.
The checker's online user guide contains more
information about the interactive checker including a spelling
glossary, a link to Melvyn's original flowchart, a history of evolving
changes and hints on use.
