Hear it. Write it. Learn it. SpellInk is a handwriting-first spelling and vocabulary practice app designed for focused learning without ads, accounts, or distractions. HEAR THE WORD SpellInk uses the device's built-in voice to say each word aloud. Hear it again, hear it in a sentence, or check the meaning when you need help. WRITE IT BY HAND Handwriting is the default practice method. Write with a finger or stylus on the on-screen writing paper, see what SpellInk recognizes, then check your spelling. Keyboard input is also available in grown-up settings. WORK THROUGH EVERY WORD Choose a grade or vocabulary level and SpellInk keeps track of coverage so words are not forgotten simply because a session ended. Practice gradually moves through unseen words while bringing back words that need review. SMART REVIEW Words that are missed, need hints, or have not been practiced recently return for another attempt. Progress separates words that are unseen, learning, and mastered. SPELLING TESTS YOUR WAY Choose 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, a custom number, or every word in the selected bank. Large all-word tests are resumable, so they can be completed over multiple sittings. USE YOUR OWN WORDS Create custom spelling lists for school, homeschool, tutoring, spelling bees, or weekly homework. Practice or test only that list, with its own coverage and progress. LEARN, PRACTICE, REVIEW • Learn new words with meaning and example sentences • Practice by handwriting or keyboard • Review tricky words • Take configurable spelling tests • Track coverage and mastery • Use preschool through high-school word levels • Create unlimited custom word lists BUILT FOR PRIVACY AND OFFLINE USE No ads. No account. No in-app purchases. No behavioral tracking. Progress, settings, and custom lists are stored on the device. Device speech and handwriting recognition are designed to work offline after the required on-device language resources are installed. SpellInk keeps the experience simple: listen carefully, remember the spelling, write it, and improve one word at a time.

Spell Champ Texas helps students prepare for the Texas UIL A+ Spelling contest. Pick a division, pick a range of word numbers, and practice the way the contest works: hear the word, then write it exactly right. PRACTICE BY WORD NUMBER The word list is organized the way students study it. Choose division 3-4, 5-6, or 7-8, then choose any range of word numbers, like words 1-10 or 151-200 (600 words for 3-4, 800 for 5-6, 900 for 7-8). Practice in order, like the contest, or shuffle. HEAR IT AS MANY TIMES AS YOU NEED Every word is spoken aloud. Tap Hear it again to repeat it, Hear it another way for a second voice, or Use it in a sentence to hear it in context. Words that sound like other words come with a short note, so you know which one to spell. CHECKED THE UIL WAY Answers are scored by the contest's spelling rules, not a loose spell-checker: - Accepted alternate spellings count as correct. - Capital letters matter when the word is capitalized on the list. - Hyphens and apostrophes must be exactly right. LEARN FROM YOUR MISSES See your results at the end of each round and practice the missed words right away. Your trouble words list shows the words you miss most often, with a button to practice them. PRACTICE MY WORDS One tap starts a session that mixes words due for review, words you are struggling with, and new words from your division. A GROWN-UP ACCOUNT, THEN OFFLINE PRACTICE A parent, guardian or teacher signs in once with Apple or Google and sets up each student by nickname and grade. Students never sign in. After that, practice works without an internet connection. No ads, no tracking, and no purchases. FOR FAMILIES Keep progress safe across devices, add each student in the family, and invite a co-parent. When students share a device, Spell Champ asks who is practicing. A parent can set one optional daily reminder for any time of day. FOR TEACHERS Create a class, share a join link, and assign word ranges or practice tests. A parent approves before a teacher sees practice, and teachers see only practice on assigned words. EARN IT BY PRACTICING Stars, a free Season Pass, daily missions, and coins to dress up Andy the armadillo, with cheerful sounds you can turn off. Everything is earned by practicing; nothing is for sale. Reset progress on this device from More > For grown-ups at any time. The word list comes from the publicly available UIL A+ Spelling 2026-27 list. Spell Champ Texas is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the University Interscholastic League (UIL).
