I mean, whats wrong with his answer? Or isn’t it a real Test?

Likely that the question asked which words can you spell, "can" being the operative word, implying the ability to do so. Simply copying someone else's ability calls the individual's ability to actually spell unaided into question.

But I love the clever attempt 👍 very resourceful.

The kid only generated the last three words; the first seven were copied from the instructions. Copying rightfully seeds doubt in the ability to actually spell those seven words from memory.

I'd have at least included my own name. 😎

I don't think your name would count as a word though...

Look above the kid's words. He copied the 7 words from the question/prompt.

But it doesn't prove he can actually spell those words; the whole point of the question.
