The games

One spelling list, a dozen ways to learn it

Your child’s words flow through every game below. The app chooses what each word needs next — a big hint today, spelling from memory next week — so practice always feels doable, never dull.

Learn each word

A ladder of practice, from gentle to independent

Every spelling word climbs the same ladder. Early rungs give lots of help; later rungs fade it away until your child spells the word from memory. The app picks the right rung for each word, each day.

  • Hinted fill-in

    The word is read aloud with a gentle hint, and the child fills in what's missing.

  • Multiple choice

    Pick the correctly spelled word from a few careful look-alikes.

  • Missing letters (guided)

    The tricky letters are blanked out; the child completes the pattern.

  • Jumbled letters

    Unscramble letter tiles to rebuild the word.

  • Type it from memory

    The final rung — hear the word and spell it with no scaffolding at all.

Sounds & spelling patterns

Build words the way reading research teaches them

These modes work at the level of sounds and letter-patterns — the part of spelling that has the strongest evidence behind it.

  • Sound-It-Out

    Build the word one sound at a time, matching each sound to its letters — the spelling direction of phonics.

  • Look · Say · Cover · Write · Check

    The classic retrieval routine: study the word, hide it, write it from memory, then check.

  • Phonics exercises

    Five varied activities — spot the letters, choose the word, minimal pairs, fill the grapheme, odd-one-out — built around real spelling words.

  • Sound Clash

    A focused challenge on the confusable sounds children mix up most.

  • Homophone picture-match

    Choose the right word for the picture — pear vs pair, sun vs son — so meaning drives the spelling.

Meaning & memory

Understand words, then remember them for good

Knowing what a word means and why it's spelled that way makes it stick. Spaced review then brings it back at just the right moment.

  • Learn mode

    A child-friendly meaning plus a spotlight on the spelling rule at work in the word.

  • Themed tests

    Turn a spelling list into a themed quiz — animals, space, feelings — from the child's own words.

  • Weekly test

    A calm, low-pressure check-in that mirrors the week's practice.

  • Spaced review

    Words return on a roughly weekly rhythm — the spacing that research links to long-term memory.
