Frequently Asked Questions
How does the spelling test work?
You listen to a sentence read aloud, type out what you hear, and get instant feedback on which words you spelled correctly and which to review. Each grade has its own audio-based tests, built from words curated for that level. You get a score on each test and can retake to improve.
Do I need an account to take a spelling test?
You can try the tests without signing up. Each grade has one test unlocked for guests, with a 20-attempt cap shared across all grades, enough to sample a few before finding where you sit. Sign up for a free account to unlock every test in every grade for a 14-day trial, with your progress, mastered words, and certificates saved as you go. Teachers and parents use accounts to assign tests to students or children.
Which grade should I pick?
Start with the grade that matches your current school year. If the test feels too easy, move up one grade; if too hard, drop one grade and build from there. The right level is the one that's a stretch but not a struggle. Adults often start at 8th or 9th grade and work toward the Adult test, which is meaningfully harder. For very early readers, the Sight Words test is the natural entry point.
