* floccinaucinihilipilification: This word means "the act of estimating something as worthless".

* scherenschnitte: This is a German word for a paper-cutting art form.

* queue: This word is often misspelled as "que."

* Wednesday: This word is challenging because of the "W" and "d" combination.

* rhythm: This word is tricky due to its silent "h" and the "th" combination.

Ultimately, the "hardest" noun to spell for you will depend on your individual strengths and weaknesses.
