Spelly: Kids Spelling Games

Spelly is a spelling practice app for kids ages 6 to 12. It turns their weekly school spelling words into short games, for practice through the week and spelling test practice before test day.

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. Typing is checked letter by letter, so autocorrect can't spell the word for them.

FIVE WAYS TO PRACTICE
• Matching: match each word to its picture
• Multiple Choice: hear the word and pick the right spelling
• Fill the Gap: fill in the letters that are missing
• Build It: tap letter tiles to build the word
• Type It: hear the word and type it, like a real spelling test
All five are open from the very first day.

PRACTICE THEIR ACTUAL SCHOOL WORDS
• Scan a printed or handwritten spelling list
• Type or paste your own words
• Make a list about any topic with AI
• Pick from 94 ready-made lists across 24 worlds, from first colors to space and dinosaurs
• Get ready for a test: set the test day, mark challenge words and get a practice plan with reminders

FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS
Parents make lists for their own child. Teachers make one list and share it with the whole class through a link or QR code. Students practice straight away, with no student accounts and no student emails. With Unlock Spelly, a teacher can also see who practiced and how they scored on a list marked as a school test.

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.

A ROAD TO FOLLOW
Practice is a road of worlds and word lists, one step at a time. Finish a list to open the next, collect XP, coins and a daily streak, and hatch creatures that walk the road beside your child. 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.

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 START, NO ADS
All the games and the ready-made lists are free. Free play runs on hearts, which come back over time, so practice never stops for good. Free accounts can also scan worksheets and make AI word lists within a daily allowance.

Unlock Spelly is a single one-time purchase that removes the heart limit and allows up to 50 worksheet scans and 50 AI lists a month. No subscription and no ads. Purchases in the app ask a grown-up question first.

Also works in any browser at spelly.net with the same account.
