Getting started with Spelly
From sign-up to the first round of practice — about two minutes, no setup to configure.
Create a free account
Go to spelly.net/app and sign in with Google or an email and password. One account covers the whole family — Spelly is built around lists, so a child's different subjects (or two children) can each have their own.
Answer five quick questions
Onboarding asks for a name, age, which language to practise, roughly what level, and what brings you to Spelly. It takes under a minute and you can change every answer later in ⚙️ Settings. In a hurry? Skip for now drops you straight into the app.
Pick a list — or make your own
The dashboard opens with ready-to-play lists (Animals, Space, Sight Words, Foods and more). Tap one and you're practising immediately — no setup at all.
For this week's actual school words, tap ✏️ Create New List and type them in, or scan the worksheet with your phone camera.
Play a round
Choose a game mode (there are five) and tap Continue. Spelly reads each word aloud, your child spells it, and correct answers pay out XP and coins straight away.
Common questions
Does my child need their own account?
No. Most families run one account and simply keep separate lists. Practice history and rewards live on that account.
Is it free?
Yes to start: the full game, every mode and the ready-made lists are free. A new account plays on hearts: a round of up to 10 words uses one heart and wrong answers are free. Hearts come back over time and again each new day. Worksheet scanning and AI lists are free with a daily limit.
What age is Spelly for?
It is designed for roughly ages 6–12, but the level setting and your own word lists make it work either side of that — plenty of adults use it for a new language.
