Spelly is a spelling app for kids ages 6 to 12 that turns their weekly school spelling words into games. Take a photo of a printed or handwritten spelling list and Spelly turns it into a practice list in seconds. Your child hears each word read aloud in a natural voice, spells it, and gets instant feedback. Because every word is spoken, a child who can't read the list yet can still practice it. Typed answers are checked letter by letter, and Spelly's own keyboard keeps autocorrect from spelling the word for them. FIVE GAMES, ALL OPEN FROM DAY ONE • Matching: match each word to its picture • Multiple Choice: hear the word and tap the right spelling • Fill the Gap: fill in the missing letters • Build It: tap letter tiles to build the word • Type It: hear the word and type it, like a real spelling test A missed word comes back later in the same round, in an easier game. Words missed on an earlier day come back in a short review. THEIR OWN SCHOOL WORDS • Scan a printed or handwritten spelling list • Type or paste your own words • Make a list about any topic with AI • Mark challenge words and set the test date • Practice any list in any game, whenever a test is coming up A ROAD OF WORDS Follow a road through 24 worlds, from first colors and numbers to space and dinosaurs. Each list is played a few words at a time, in games that get harder step by step, and ends with a short typed test. Pass it to earn coins and open the next list. Some lists also hatch a creature. 14 LANGUAGES English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai and Burmese. Practice spelling in the language your child is learning at school. Hebrew and Arabic read right to left. PROGRESS PARENTS CAN SEE XP, coins, streaks, a daily goal, chests along the road and 12 creatures to hatch. Parents see the days practiced, the words mastered, how many were right first time and the words still to practice, in the app and in a weekly email. FOR TEACHERS Make a word list and share it with the whole class through a link or a QR code. Students practice straight away, with no student accounts and no student emails. EASY TO HEAR, EASY TO READ Practice in US or UK English: UK English uses British spelling and a British voice. Easier-to-read letters, a setting in the app, show the game screen in a dyslexia-friendly font. And when sound is not an option, play without sound, with a picture or meaning in place of the spoken word. FREE TO PLAY, NO ADS Spelly is free to download and play.
