Get started in minutes with just a few simple steps
Select semantic categories (animals, emotions, science), spelling patterns (-tion words, silent e words), phonetic groups (long a sounds), or mixed sorting for a challenge.
Drag words into the correct category buckets. Some rounds have obvious categories, while advanced rounds require you to discover the hidden sorting rule yourself.
After sorting, the AI explains connections between words in each category. Review sessions reinforce the spelling patterns and vocabulary relationships you discovered.
Built with cutting-edge AI to make spelling practice effective and engaging
Sort by meaning (semantic categories), by spelling pattern (orthographic features), or by sound (phonetic grouping). Each dimension builds different spelling skills.
The AI creates unique sorting challenges every session, selecting categories and words that match the student's grade level and learning goals.
In advanced mode, students must figure out the hidden categories themselves — a higher-order thinking challenge that builds analytical skills.
Learn how words relate to each other through meaning, origin, and structure. Building word networks improves both vocabulary and spelling.
Sorting words by spelling pattern helps students discover rules organically — like noticing that all "-tion" words change verbs to nouns.
