There is a hint button if you get stuck. All in all, a clever way to get kids to work on their spelling. ### 5/5 — Great Learning App! *2013-11-20* I love this app in my classroom. Great visual motor skills to move the letters into place. Love that the pictures speak the words when tapped. ### 5/5 — Spelling made fun *2013-11-05* This is a nice app for spelling and learning how to interact with a crossword puzzle. The cute photos give nice visual support for the word that should be entered. Need more support then the settings allow you to give a "letter shadow" in each tile….then just drag and drop the appropriate letters to spell the word. I especially like the setting option to make the dragging tiles slightly larger than the space where they need to be entered. This is a nice feature that will help those students that have some fine motor difficulty. Great one and I definitely recommend it. actbyJackieBryla ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2013-11-01* This app is enjoyable and very helpful for young kids learning to spell. The option to use upper case and lower case letters is great. This is a great app that engages them to focus on letter sounds in a fun way. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2013-10-31* This game reminds me of Scrabble Junior that I played when I was a child. I like that you can turn on and off the hints (grey outline of the letter within the crossword). There is auditory feedback once you complete a word. ### 5/5 — Happi Spells *2013-10-31* The students I work with enjoyed using this app to practice putting letters and sounds together to make words. They feel like they are big kids doing cross words. It has been a great confidence booster in my struggling students. ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-10-31* 6 year olds loved this app. Really helped them work on spelling in a fun and different way. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2013-10-30* Good introduction to teaching kids about crossword puzzles. ### 4/5 — Fun new take on spelling *2013-10-30* I liked this new way to practice spelling. I enjoyed the ability to use capital and lowercase letters. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Teacher *2013-10-30* Great app for 4's and up. Love that they can match letters or spell the word on their own. ## Frequently asked questions about Happi Spells ### What is Happi Spells?
