## What is SpellKitty?

Your child says the letters. The kitty hears them. Practice this week’s spelling test out loud, or six real spelling bee words a day, judged on your iPhone or iPad with nothing sent anywhere.

SpellKitty is a daily spelling round for children in grades 1 to 8, hosted by a kitty with its own voice. It says the word and what it means; your child holds the button and spells it out loud; the letters land one by one.

HOW A ROUND GOES
• The kitty says the word and its meaning. Hear again gives the word in a sentence, then where it comes from, the way a spelling bee pronouncer does.
• Hold the button and say the letters. Each letter appears as it is said.
• Right on the first try is celebrated. A miss gets one more try, then a gentle look at which letter went wrong and why.
• Can’t talk right now? Type the word instead.

YOUR WEEKLY SPELLING LIST
Type the week’s words, or paste them, with a meaning after a dash if you like, or make the list on spellkitty.com and open it on the phone. While a list is on, it is the day’s round: the kitty says each word and your child spells it out loud, six a day, with the same two tries, the same streak and the same practice of misses. Share the list by link or QR and a classmate’s family has the same words in a tap: the words travel inside the link itself. Your first list is free; more lists come with SpellKitty Pro. Opening a shared list is always free.

WORDS FOR THEIR AGE
Tell the kitty how old your speller is and the daily round is drawn for their grade: grades 1 to 3, 4 to 6, or 7 and 8, from the 379 words of the school spelling bee study lists, with a few a step harder. Change the age any time in Settings. Every word has a meaning and a sentence written for the app, and most have a language of origin.

WHAT BRINGS A SPELLER BACK
• A streak for every day played, and each day a practice round of the words missed, which can mend a streak after one day away.
• Your words: every word met, how it went, and the ones to practice first.
• A kitty with a temper: tap it, stroke it, pester it, let it fall asleep. It never sells anything and never scolds in a round.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your child’s voice stays on the device. Spelling is judged on the device by Apple’s speech engine; nothing is recorded or uploaded.
• No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. SpellKitty collects nothing.
• Saving is optional: with Sign in with Apple, the streak and the words are kept in your own iCloud. SpellKitty asks Apple for no name and no email.
• Anything meant for a grown-up starts with the kitty asking for one, then a grown-up check: Settings, the lists, the purchase, sharing and the sign-in.

SPELLKITTY PRO
The daily round is free, every day, for everyone. SpellKitty Pro is one purchase, paid once: your own spelling lists, any number, as much practice as your child wants, and more rounds after the day’s six, to the last word of the bee list, with the words added later included. No subscription, and Family Sharing is on.

ON IPAD
The kitty stands bigger and the round’s card grows with the screen; turned on its side, the words sit beside the kitty. With a keyboard, the space bar is the button: hold it and spell, and Return moves on.

WHAT IT NEEDS
iPhone with iOS 18 or iPad with iPadOS 18, or later, and the microphone while the button is held. On devices with Apple Intelligence, the kitty’s explanations are phrased on the device.

### 5/5 — Love for kitty

*2026-11-02*

My daughter loved playing with kitty and do these fun spelling practices daily,

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-24

What’s new in 1.2
• A new icon: the kitty, waving among its letters.
• “Hey Siri, practice spelling with SpellKitty” opens today’s round, and “Open my spelling list in SpellKitty” plays this week’s list. Both are in Spotlight and the Shortcuts app too.
• Rate SpellKitty from Settings, behind the grown-up check. The kitty never asks a child for stars.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-24

What’s new in 1.1
• This week’s spelling test, practised out loud: type the words once, or make the list on spellkitty.com, and the kitty turns them into the day’s round. Share it with the class by link or QR code.
• Built for spellers from first grade: the kitty says what to do, shows how to hold the button, and gives the phone back after a grown-up types the list.
• A miss shows the right word with its tricky letter, never the misspelling. Younger spellers see which letter to check on their second try.
• Words for their grade, and the harder ones only once they are ready.
• Praise for fixing a word and for keeping going, not only for getting it right.
• Everything for grown-ups sits behind one locked row on Home: lists, age, SpellKitty Pro.
• A reminder that skips the days already played, a mute button on Home, and a nudge when the volume is too low to hear the kitty.
• A quicker button, smoother screens and audio fixes.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-21
