¿Para qué edades es Spelly?+

¿En qué se diferencia Spelly de SpellingCity?+
Spelly costs $29 once, or is free to start, while VocabularySpellingCity runs about $108–125 al año. Spelly is the only one of the two that scans your child's worksheet from a photo and generates word lists by topic or spelling pattern with AI. It's purpose-built for ages 6–12 across 5 game modes and 14 idiomas, while SpellingCity is a broader K–12 classroom tool.
¿En qué se diferencia Spelly de Spelling Shed?+
Spelly and Spelling Shed cost about the same al año (~$30), but Spelly also offers a free tier and a one-time $29 one-time option, while Spelling Shed is subscription-only. Spelly is built for home use with AI-generated lists and worksheet scanning, so nothing depends on a school subscription. Spelling Shed has deeper formal curriculum alignment and competitive leagues; Spelly is more flexible and game-focused.
¿Es Spelly una buena alternativa gratuita a SpellingJoy?+
Both have free options. SpellingJoy is completely free with no limits but no AI, scanning, or game modes. Spelly's core game is free too — 5 game modes, 70+ topics, and full gamification — with Funciones de AI (list generation, worksheet scanning) running on free starting “sparks.” Choose SpellingJoy for unlimited no-frills practice, or Spelly for a richer, game-like experience with AI and scanning.
¿Funciona Spelly en iPad, iPhone y Android?+
Yes. Spelly runs in any web browser on iPad, iPhone, Android phones and tablets, plus desktop and laptop computers. There is nothing to download and no app store needed — open the page, sign in, and start spelling. The interface uses big, kid-friendly tap targets sized for small hands.
¿Cómo funciona la función de escaneo de hojas de tareas?+
Snap a photo of your child's spelling worksheet — printed, typed or handwritten. Spelly's AI reads the image, pulls out just the spelling words, and turns each one into a playable list in seconds. You can filter out any noise words before practice, so there's no typing the list in by hand.
¿Qué patrones de ortografía cubre Spelly?+
Spelly covers 12 spelling patterns across 3 categories. Word endings: -ing, -ed, -er, -ly. Phonics patterns: silent letters, double letters, silent E, long vowels. Word beginnings: un-, re-, pre-, dis-. These match the weekly patterns schools teach, so kids practice the exact rule from this week's list.
¿Está Spelly alineado con Common Core o el UK National Curriculum?+
Yes. Spelly's 12 spelling patterns are aligned with US Common Core and UK National Curriculum spelling expectations — the same -ing, silent-letter and prefix patterns schools assign each week. Parents can match this week's classroom list exactly, whether their child is in 1st grade or 5th grade.
¿Cómo se compara Spelly con Duolingo para la ortografía?+
Duolingo teaches foreign-language vocabulary; Spelly is built specifically for spelling practice in your child's own school words. Spelly lets you scan or generate the exact weekly list, hear each word in a natural voice, and spell it across 5 game modes — something general language apps like Duolingo don't do.
