How to share a spelling list with your class
From a pile of words to a whole class practicing — one link, no student accounts, no student emails.
The three steps
Build the list
Sign in at spelly.net/app and tap ✏️ Create New List. Add the words however you like:
⌨️ Type them — each word becomes a tag as you press Enter.
📸 Scan a list — snap a photo of the worksheet and Spelly pulls the words out.
✨ Generate by topic — pick a theme and get a ready list to edit.
Give it a name your students will recognize — the name is the title they'll see, so “Week 12 Spelling” beats an automatic date.
Share one link
Tap Share — it sits right next to Save from your very first word (sharing saves the list automatically).
In the share dialog, add your name (shown to students as “Ms. Cohen shared this word list with you”) and an optional note like “Spelling test on Friday (Aug 22)”. Then copy the link, or tap Share to send it through WhatsApp, email, or whatever your class already uses.
Students practice instantly
The link opens straight into the list — your name, your note, every word visible — with one big ▶ Start practicing button. Words are read aloud and students type what they hear. It works on any phone, tablet, or computer, and it's free for every student.

Common questions
Do my students need an account?
No — that's the point. The link opens straight into practice with no sign-up, no email, no login. Only you (the list creator) need a free Spelly account.
Can I reuse the same link every week?
A link is a snapshot of one list, so each week's list gets its own link. That keeps old links working — last week's list stays practicable forever.
Can I change the name or note after sharing?
Yes. Open the list, tap Share again, and edit the name or note — the link stays the same and updates for everyone.
What do students earn? Can I see their scores?
Students see their own score at the end of each round (a student can show or send you a screenshot). Spelly deliberately doesn't track students behind a shared link — no accounts means no data collected about them.
Does it cost anything?
Practicing a shared link is free for every student, always. Creating lists is free for you too — a free account includes enough sparks to build and share your first lists.
