Tricky Words turns the UK government's official spelling lists into a science-backed practice routine that actually works - no fuss, no forgotten worksheets, no repeating yourself. This app replaces all your flashcards with a clever digital system on your phone. It asks the right words at the right time to ensure optimal learning and speed. OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT WORD LISTS, BUILT IN The National Curriculum specifies exactly which High Frequency Words (HFW) and Common Exception Words (CEW) every child must master from Reception through Year 6. We've built all of them in - over 650 words, organised by year and difficulty. When your child's school sends home a custom list, simply snap a photo, and the app automatically imports it alongside the built-in words. SMARTER PRACTICE WITH BUCKETS We use a proven spaced-repetition system to move words from short-term memory into long-term mastery - the exact same principle used in medical and language training worldwide. Words practised correctly move up through four levels. Mistakes reset a word to the beginning, ensuring it gets the extra attention it needs. The app handles all the scheduling, so you never have to think about which word to test next. REPEAT LIST When a word trips your child up, it goes on the Repeat List and comes back every few words - exactly when it needs reinforcing. Words stay on the list until they're answered correctly, and you can always see what's coming next. TAILORED TO YOUR CHILD Multi-child support means each child has their own library, progress tracker, and word selection. You choose exactly which school years and difficulty levels to include. Mark a word as "Mastered", and it disappears from practice for good. TWO-PHONE MODE If you'd rather not show your child the screen, pair two phones over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. You control the session on your device while your child sees only a clean display, complete with a fanfare when they get it right.
