SpellBee is the fastest way to get spelling-bee ready. Pick a grade level, hit start, and the pronouncer does the rest - reading each word aloud, offering the definition, and using it in a sentence on request, just like a real bee.
Built by a spelling-bee parent who was tired of drill apps that feel like worksheets.
TWO WAYS TO PRACTICE
- TYPE: See the prompt, type the word, check instantly. Misses trigger a clear spell-out so you hear every letter.
- SPELL ALOUD: Tap the mic and say each letter. SpellBee understands letter names ("see a tee" -> CAT) and whole words, so there is no typing between attempts.
EIGHT DIFFICULTY LEVELS
From K-1 starter words to championship-tier stumpers like "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis". Every word ships with a definition and an example sentence so the context lands.
THEMED WORD PACKS
Give SpellBee a theme - dinosaurs, space, baking, cooking, mythology - and it builds a fresh 10-word pack at your level. Built-in themed packs work offline, with a studio gateway available for expanded packs when configured.
PARENT-MADE LISTS
Copy this week's school words into a saved list. Tap "practice" and the same words read aloud with optional definitions you wrote yourself. Great for weekly spelling tests, pre-bee warm-ups, and ESL families who want their own word set.
INSTANT FEEDBACK + STREAKS
Every test tracks correct words, longest streak, and accuracy. Perfect tests extend your perfect-test streak.
