Why we built it
It started with my son Tommy — 20 new spelling words every Monday, tested on Friday. We tried an old app to practice, but every week was the same chore: me typing in each word by hand and recording my voice for all twenty before he could even start. The setup took longer than the studying.

So we built our own — something that felt more like a game than homework. Tommy tested every level and picked the rewards. Now he's the one reminding me when it's practice time.

5 ways to play

One word list. Five game modes.

Every list works in every mode. New modes unlock as kids level up — so the game keeps surprising them.

👇 Tap a mode to see how it works

Type It

🔓 Available from the start

The classic spelling test. Kids hear the word in a natural voice and type it letter by letter — instant feedback, no waiting for Friday. Keyboard autocomplete, suggestions, and voice-to-text are blocked, so it's real spelling — not autocorrect.

ROCK
🚫 No autocomplete · no voice-to-text

Multiple Choice

🔓 Available from the start

Hear the word, then pick the correct spelling from a set of tempting look-alikes. Great for early readers building confidence.
