Saving, editing and reusing lists

Every list you make can be replayed, edited and shared for as long as you want it.

Saving a list

In the list builder, tap Save and give the list a name. Names matter more than they look: the name is what your child sees on the dashboard, and it is the title anyone you share it with will see. “Week 12 Spelling” beats an automatic date.

Finding it again

Saved lists appear on the home screen under 📚 Pick a topic to play, below the topic cards, and all together under My lists in the bottom bar. Tap any list to open it — from there you can play it, edit the words, or share it.

Test mode: date countdown and challenge words

New: when the list is for a real school test, flip 🎓 This is for a school test in the builder. Add the test date and the list's card counts down ("Test in 3 days… Test tomorrow… Test today!") and moves to the front of the home screen as the test approaches. Tap ⭐ on any word to mark it a challenge word — they play last, like on the real sheet, and pay double XP when spelled right, with their own line on the results screen.

Big lists play in parts

A list over 30 words — a whole year of grade words, say — plays in 10-word parts instead of one giant session; the card shows where you are ("Part 3/26") and each play picks up at the next part. A normal weekly list (up to 30 words) plays whole in one round, exactly as always. Lists can hold up to 300 words.

Editing and deleting

Opening a saved list puts you back in the builder with its words as tags: ✕ removes a word, typing adds one — and saving updates the list in place (it doesn't create a copy). Deleting a list is done from its card on the dashboard.

One thing to know: a share link is a snapshot. Editing a list afterwards does not change a link you already sent, which is deliberate — last week's link keeps working exactly as it was.

Common questions

Do lists expire?

No. Saved lists stay until you delete them, and old share links keep working.

Can I practise the same list twice?

As many times as you like. Repetition is the point. Each round uses one heart and is up to 10 words: a longer list plays in parts of 10 and picks up where your child stopped. Switching game modes keeps a familiar list feeling new.
