Spelling that feels like play.

Spell Kingdom has Spell World plus 8 more games: quick arcade drills, live races against a friend and a 3D story quest. In Spell World, a full open world, you fight monsters with spells, take on quests and level your hero up, and spelling (or maths) cards, tests and climbs earn bonus XP. Parents see exactly which words are still tricky, set screen-time limits and add the weekly school list. And it is not only spelling: pick Maths in Bubble Pop, Snake and Spell World and the same games ask sums for your child's school year.

What makes Spell Kingdom different

Most online spelling practice is a list, a timer and a score. Here is how Spell Kingdom compares with that kind of site.

Typical spelling practice site Spell Kingdom
What a session is like The same list, the same quiz, every day. Spell World, a huge 3D open world to explore with friends, a three-chapter story adventure and 8 more games. Every day can be a different way to play.
Why a child keeps going Points, stars and badges that mean little outside the site. Coins that are really spent: hats, pets and gear in the shop, a hero that levels up, loot from monsters and chests.
When a word is missed Marked wrong, and on to the next one. A short tip explains the rule, missed words come back more often, and a hunt in Spell World sends the child after their own tricky words.
Real spelling, not guessing Often multiple choice or tapping a tile. Children build or type the whole word. In the letter games wrong letters can be picked too, so a lucky tap does not count as spelling.
Spelling and maths Usually one subject, in its own app. Spelling and maths in the same games, with the same coins, shop and hero. Pick which one you want each time you play.
With friends Alone, or a leaderboard. Team up in Spell World, race a friend live in Swim Carnival and Maze Run, climb the ranking boards. Nicknames only.
For parents Little insight into what is tricky; screen time is up to you. Type in the school list, see the tricky words and how many days your child practised, set daily play limits and switch games off.
Price Popular spelling subscriptions we compared cost about US$30 to US$80 a year (checked October 2026). One Family plan covers up to 3 learners:US$3.69 a month or US$19.99 a year, after a free 14-day trial.
Safety Many are ad-supported, and some have chat. No ads and no chat. Nicknames only, and a parent can delete their child's data.

Spell World and 8 more ways to play

One shared word bank, so a word missed in one game turns up again in the others. Pick whatever fits your mood.

🔊

Listen & Spell

Hear a word, then type it. Miss one and a quick tip shows why it's spelled that way.

About Listen & Spell →

💧

Bubble Pop

Pop floating letter bubbles to build each word. Any bubble can be popped, so it really tests your spelling. Also comes in a maths version.

About Bubble Pop →

🐍

Snake Spell

Steer a snake around the board and eat the letters in order to spell the word, racing the clock. Also comes in a maths version.

About Snake Spell →

🐑

Sheep Rescue

Shoot the falling letters to spell each word. Right words push the monster off the cliff, wrong ones let it near the sheep. Beat the little monsters, then the Boss, then the Final Boss.

About Sheep Rescue →

🎵

Melody Maker

Every letter has its own musical note. Spell the word and hear it become a tune.

About Melody Maker →

👑

Royal Quest

A story adventure in three chapters of 3D block worlds: climb the mountain, smash the skeletons' wrong-letter axes, beat the dragon and rescue Robin; free the King and Queen from the Royal Dungeon; then storm the sorcerer's Final Tower. Chapter 1 is free.

About Royal Quest →

🏊

Swim Carnival

A live 1-on-1 race: spell your way to the top of the pool before your opponent does.

🌀

Maths too: sums that feel like play

Bubble Pop, Snake and Spell World now come in a maths version. Pick Spelling or Maths when you start a game, or at the Spell World gate.

🔢

Build the answer, digit by digit

A sum appears, and your child pops the bubbles (or steers the snake) to make the answer. Wrong digits can be picked too, so a lucky tap does not count: it is real working-out, not multiple choice.

📈

Matched to the school year

Year 1 starts with counting on, adding and taking away within 20 and number bonds. Later years add two- and three-digit sums, times tables and division, bigger multiplication, order of operations and percentages up to Year 6.

💰

Same coins, same shop

Maths rounds count for the daily bronze coin and the ranking boards just like spelling, so one family can practise both in the same places. In Spell World the word cards, quest tests and the mountain climb turn into sums. A short tip explains the trick after a wrong answer.

Why kids keep coming back

💰

Every right answer pays off

Score 95%+ on the Daily Challenge to earn a bronze coin. Collect 7 bronze for a silver and 7 silver for a gold, then spend coins in the shop.

🌍

Spell World: a whole world to explore

Our biggest game. A child picks a hero (tank, damage dealer or healer), explores villages, deserts, frozen mountains, crystal caverns and the sunken kingdom of Atlantis, fights monsters with spells, takes on quests and teams up with friends. The hero is saved and levels up to 30. Spelling is part of the adventure: quests, wise creatures, the mountain climb and a hunt for their own tricky words all ask for words, and a child can choose maths sums instead.

🔥

A daily goal with a streak

A word bar fills as a child spells in Spell World: 15 different words a day. Do it 10 days in a row and they earn the title Word Champion to wear by their name.

🐾

Hats and pets to collect

Coins buy hats and pets. Pets level up as you play, and your hero wears them in Spell World and in Royal Quest.

🏁

Race friends, climb the boards

Swim Carnival and Maze Run are live head-to-head races, and ranking boards show how far each player got. Players only ever show a nickname.

🎯

Practice that finds the tricky words

Words a child misses come up a bit more often next time, and words they get right three times in a row are collected as “mastered”. It never feels like a drill.

💡

Learn the rule, not just the word

When a word is missed, a short tip explains why it's spelled that way, so each mistake becomes a small lesson.

👪

Made for families

Parents can type in this week's school spelling list, see which words are still tricky and how many days their child practised, and set daily play limits. No ads and no chat.

Why parents choose Spell Kingdom

🎯

Practice that targets the tricky words

Words a child misses come back more often, and a word spelled right three times in a row counts as mastered. A child's own mistakes become their personal word hunt.

💰

One plan for up to 3 children

One Family plan covers up to 3 learners for US$3.69 a month or US$19.99 a year, so brothers and sisters share one subscription instead of paying for each child. Several popular spelling subscriptions we compared in October 2026 charge about US$30 to US$80 a year, so the Family plan comes in below that. Try it free for 14 days first, with no payment details. Launch offer: 30% off your first payment for a month after you sign up (offer ends 31 December 2026).

📋

This week's school list

On the Family plan a parent types in the school spelling list, and the games use those words. A private list is never shared with anyone else.

📊

See what is working

The parent page shows which words are still tricky, which are mastered and how many days your child practised, so you know where to help.

⏱️

You stay in control

Set daily play limits, including time in Spell World, and switch a game off for a child. Coins are only earned by playing (spelling or maths), and nothing in the games is sold for real money.

🔰

Safe by design

No ads and no chat. Children appear under a nickname only, and a parent can delete their child's data at any time.

💬

A rule, not just a score

When a word is missed, a short tip explains why it is spelled that way, so every mistake teaches something and children remember the pattern.
