How to Play
Choose a word list: Sight Words, 1st–3rd Grade, or 4th–6th Grade.
Fly through the blue ring to hear the word read aloud (press H to hear it again).
Steer through the gold ring showing the correct spelling — the other two rings are close misspellings.
Chain three correct answers in a row to trigger a bonus ring run for extra points.
Classroom Ideas
Use as a 5-minute warmup before a spelling test, letting students pick the word list that matches their current unit.
Assign as a homework alternative to written spelling practice — kids get the same repetition with instant audio feedback.
