## What is SPL?

Struggling to spell tricky English words? SPL is the ultimate spelling practice app that helps you build vocabulary, improve spelling accuracy, and master English pronunciation — one word at a time.

Hear a word. Spell it. Learn it. SPL pulls from a massive database of over 190,000 English words and challenges you to spell them correctly using an interactive on-screen keyboard. After each attempt, you'll see the correct spelling, full dictionary definitions organized by part of speech, and can listen to authentic US or UK pronunciations.

CORE FEATURES:

- 190,000+ English Words — A vast built-in word database covering everything from everyday vocabulary to advanced terminology.
- 4 Difficulty Levels — Progress from Tourist (4–7 letters) to Immigrant (8–9), Citizen (10–12), and President (13–21 letters) as your skills improve.
- US & UK Pronunciations — Switch between American and British English diction with a single tap. Hear every word spoken aloud with high-quality text-to-speech.
- SPL works best with premium voices installed from Settings ＞ Accessibility ＞ VoiceOver ＞ Speech ＞ Primary Voice.
- 3 Keyboard Modes — Choose from a standard Keyboard, Shuffled letters (only the word's letters, rearranged), or Concealed mode (similar-sounding letters added as decoys) for an extra challenge.
- Dictionary Definitions — Every word comes with full definitions organized by part of speech, fetched from a real dictionary API.
- Favorites System — Heart the words you love or want to revisit. Build your own personal word list.
- Progress Tracking — Review your spelled, misspelled, and favorited words in a searchable profile with alphabetical indexing.
- Volume Control — Adjust audio playback to your preference or mute entirely.
- Dark Mode Support — A beautiful, distraction-free interface that adapts to your system appearance.
- Offline Word Database — Your entire word collection is stored locally. Only definitions and audio require an internet connection.

WHY SPL?
Whether you're preparing for a spelling bee, studying for standardized tests, learning English as a second language, or simply want to sharpen your vocabulary — SPL makes spelling practice engaging and effective. The concealed keyboard mode turns every word into a puzzle, while progress tracking keeps you motivated.
