What Spell Up is
Spell Up is a spelling practice platform for students and educators, available on web, iOS, and Android. Its Easy Mode combines spoken pronunciation, multiple-choice questions, definition matching, feedback, and a three-lives format. Competition Mode asks learners to spell words from audio and offers hints about word length, letters, and definitions. Practice also covers dictation, word formation, contextual usage, pattern recognition, and explanations of spelling rules. Teachers can assign custom word lists and monitor progress. Learners can use personalized lists and adaptive practice, and signed-in users can save selected lists and track progress across devices. The site offers school and champions lists from the 2024 Scripps One Bee, Two Bee, and Three Bee competitions, along with an SAT list. Its interactive demo and real word lists can be tried without signing up, while the full experience requires an account. The Google Play listing says practice can continue without a constant internet connection and describes badges, a streak calendar, and progress visualizations. Spell Up has a free plan, though its terms say some services may require a subscription.
