Help your child walk into this week's spelling test ready. Paste the school word list, let Bee Buddy read each word aloud, and practice the ones that slipped in short daily rounds. Built for spelling bee practice too: eight levels from first words to championship-level challenges, each with a definition and an example sentence. No account. No ads. Built-in words and clues play offline. YOUR SCHOOL SPELLING LIST, READY IN SECONDS Paste words from a worksheet, email or message, one per line or separated by commas. Review and edit them, add your own definitions if you like, then tap practice. Duplicates are removed, and your lists stay on your device. HEAR EVERY WORD Bee Buddy recordings cover all 360 built-in words, their definitions and example sentences, and they work offline. Hear a word again or use slow repeat whenever you need more time. Words from your own lists are read by your device's voice, or by an online Studio voice with Premium. THREE WAYS TO ANSWER • Type the word and check it instantly • Tap letter tiles, great for early readers • Spell it aloud: say the letters and SpellBee checks them, listening for English letter names whatever language the phone is set to. Say "repeat" to hear the word again. Hands-free mode opens the mic after each word. TODAY'S PRACTICE AND FIRST-TRY PROGRESS Each day mixes words at your level with words due for review. Results separate words spelled right on the first try from words finished after another go, so you can see which spellings have really stuck. Coach focus gathers the most-missed words into a focus round. A grown-up can turn on one gentle daily reminder in Settings. PARENT VIEW Words asked and spelled correctly, best run, perfect streaks, progress on each of your lists and the words that need attention, all on one screen. SPELLING BEE PRACTICE Eight difficulty levels, from first words to championship-level stumpers. Built-in themed word packs work offline. About 100 words come with a fun fact that is read aloud after a correct answer. BEE ADVENTURES Explore three illustrated worlds with Bee Buddy, four short stops in each. All of Sunny Meadow is included for everyone; Moonlight Garden and Rainbow Falls come with Premium. NUMBER BEE AND MATH BEE Spell numbers as words ("38" becomes thirty-eight), or hear a sum and spell the answer, in three number ranges. QUESTS, HONEY AND BADGES Three daily quests, honey for correct words, Bee ranks from Egg to Queen Bee, badges, and a daily word with a streak. PREMIUM SpellBee is free to download, and every practice mode is included. Premium adds: • Moonlight Garden and Rainbow Falls • Unlimited parent-made word lists (3 included) • Unlimited Math Bee rounds (1 a day included) • Online Studio voices for words from your own lists Built-in words always use the included Bee Buddy recordings.
