## What is Spell to Play?

Spell to Play turns reaching for a distracting app into a quick spelling win.

You choose which apps to guard. When your child opens one, it's shielded until they spell a word - then it unlocks for the time you set, and re-locks for next time. A little learning, built right into the moment they reach for their phone.

WHY PARENTS LOVE SPELL TO PLAY
• Guard any app - Block games and social apps behind a spelling challenge using Apple's Screen Time. You stay in control.
• Practice in the moment - Your child spells age-appropriate words to earn their time. Short, friendly, rewarding.
• You set the rules - Pick the apps, the unlock duration, the difficulty (preschool through grade 6), and how many words.
• Weekly progress - Words learned, first-try accuracy, and streaks at a glance.
• Private by design - Everything stays on your child's device. No accounts, no sign-in, no tracking, no ads. We never see which apps you guard or what your child does.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Lock - A guarded app opens to a friendly shield instead.
2. Spell - Your child solves a quick word.
3. Unlock - The app opens for the time you choose (1-30 minutes), then re-locks.
