What if your kid ASKED to do spelling homework? SpellJam was built by Graham and his 10-year-old daughter Lily because spelling homework was boring. Together, they made the app Lily actually wanted to use — and now it's helping families everywhere turn dread into a highlight of the day.

Graham is a developer. Two months later, SpellJam existed. Lily was its first (and most demanding) tester. If something wasn't fun enough for a 10-year-old, it didn't ship. That's still the standard today. Download SpellJam and turn this week's spelling list into tonight's favourite game.
