Four games and a hatch
What the video shows
  1. Stepping Stones: an egg crosses a river, one chunk of the word at a time.
  2. Constellation: stars join in spelling order and draw the word’s star sign.
  3. A hatch: the egg cracks and a Spell Beast made from the word’s letters springs out.
  4. Hyperspell: a comet flies down a neon tunnel through the letters of a word.
  5. Sky Post: an arcade game where a little plane catches the word’s letters in the right order.
  • Letter Snake
  • Spell Racer
  • The Beast Book

What everyone gets

For children

  • A few minutes a day. About seven minutes, a few words at a time.
  • Help, never a red cross. When a word isn’t right yet, they see which letters to look at, get one tip and have another go.
  • Games worth coming back for. Quick games, an arcade, and a Beast Book to fill with every word they hatch.
  • Words that stay learned. Each word comes back on later days until its Spell Beast turns golden.

For parents and carers

  • Free, with nothing to sign up for. No account, no adverts and nothing to buy. We never ask for your email address or phone number, and we never contact you.
  • The words from school. Type in this week’s spellings, or use the code from school so practice at home counts in class.
  • Calm screen time. No chat, no shop and no leaderboards. Daily sessions and spelling tests are never timed.
  • On the device you have. Phone, tablet or computer. It works with the sound off, and offline once it has been opened.

For teachers

  • This week’s words in a minute. Pick from every statutory list and spelling pattern, or type your own.
  • Progress without marking. See who has practised, which words each child knows and what the class keeps getting wrong.
  • Friday’s test on any device. Read the words yourself or let each device read them. Results come by child and by word.
  • No pupil passwords. Children join with a class code, their name and a secret beast picture.

How to start

At home

  1. Press Play.

    On a phone, tablet or computer. Got a code from school? Use the box at the top instead.

  2. Practise for about seven minutes.

    Meet a few words, play quick games, then spell each one from memory.

  3. Watch them hatch and grow.

    Every word spelt from memory hatches a Spell Beast. Words come back on later days until they turn golden.
