Choose from a variety of pre-loaded spelling lists or add your own. Points and achievements are awarded based on the sequential collection of letters to correctly spell a word, the speed by which the letters are collected and the number of correct letters collected in a streak.

### 4/5 — Would Be Perfect if....

*2012-06-19*

I would give this five stars if I were able to customize my own language within the app. This game is based on the English alphabet system.  I am currently learning languages which have their own sounds for most letters.  It would be a fine, fun learning tool to write these words with their appropriate sounds and play the game with all its numerous game levels and mazes.  Be that as it may, I wish this app had been available when my kids were young.  At that time they had 'speak n spell' but Spin Spell would have had them begging to play! I realize the app was targeted for young learners, but when learning other languages that is just what you are in the beginning...a beginner...new to the language. That is why I thought I'd try Spin Spell since a good portion of the words in my targeted language can be very long...upwards of thirteen letters...so correct spelling is a challenge.  Take for instance the number nine...this is [nkotimeneehki].  The word for a certain bird has fifteen letters!  So, you get an idea as to how creative one needs to be in order obtain proficiency in spelling for other languages! Anyway, this is a fine app and as I said, great for keeping kids engaged while learning to spell!
