Spelling Bee
Hear it, spell it, keep the streak
About Spelling Bee
The word is read aloud in a sentence; you type it. Missed words are queued for a second pass before the round ends.
Ankhdase tracks 2 distinct skills in Spelling Bee, including Spelling and Vocabulary. Because mastery is estimated per skill rather than per game, the questions shift toward whatever a student is getting wrong — and away from what they have already proved they know.
How to play
- The word is read aloud in a sentence. Type it and press Enter.
- You can hear the word, the sentence, or the word spelled out — as many times as you like.
- Words you miss come back before the round is over.
Skills Spelling Bee practices
- Spelling
- Vocabulary
Mastery is estimated separately for each of these, which is what lets the difficulty move independently — a student can be fluent on one and still be fed easier questions on another.
Questions about Spelling Bee
- Is Spelling Bee free to play?
- Yes. Spelling Bee is free, runs in any modern browser, and needs no download or plugin. You can play straight away without an account; signing in is only needed if you want progress, streaks and badges saved.
- What age is Spelling Bee for?
- Spelling Bee suits ages 6–13 — roughly Grade 1 to Grade 7+. The difficulty adapts as you play, so it stays useful across that whole range rather than being pitched at one year group.
- What does Spelling Bee teach?
- It practices Spelling and Vocabulary. Every question is tagged with the skill it exercises, so progress is tracked skill by skill rather than as one overall score.
- Does Spelling Bee work on a tablet or phone?
- Spelling Bee needs a physical keyboard, so it is best on a laptop or a tablet with a keyboard attached.
- Can teachers assign Spelling Bee?
- Yes. Teachers can create a class, add students in bulk without email addresses, and set Spelling Bee as an assignment with a goal — a score, a number of minutes, stars or a typing speed. Progress updates automatically as students play.
