Lost 2 years of saved lists, zero support response

Updated, lost 2 years of saved spelling lists. Zero response to support ticket after 4 weeks waiting.

Confusing

We were told to use this by our school for both our kids. Even after years of enduring it, I still find it one of the most confusing, unintuitive learning experiences. Different levels that don’t mean anything, and rather naff games. Just get your kids to read, and read to them. They’ll be fine.

Why is there grammar arcade at school and you don’t have it?
