SpellingB

Spellingb turns a classroom spelling bee into a short daily puzzle. Each day has one numbered challenge word, the same for everyone. The page opens on a large speaker button: press it and the word is read aloud, then type what you heard on the on-screen keyboard or your own and press Enter.

If the word is hard to place, three hint buttons sit under the speaker. Definition tells you what the word means, Sentence shows it used in context, and Phonetic spells out how it sounds, which also lets you play with the sound off. The game asks for the volume on when it opens, but the phonetic hint is there for players who keep their device muted.

You get five guesses. After each one the letters are coloured the way Wordle colours them: right letter in the right place, right letter in the wrong place, or not in the word at all. So a near miss on a word like accommodate still teaches you which doubled letter you got wrong, and the next guess can fix it.

When the day is done you can copy a grid of your result to share, and a stats panel keeps your daily finishes and win streak in the browser, with no account. The clock button opens Past Challenges, every earlier day's word to play again, and Free Play gives unlimited practice words beyond the daily one. The words run from everyday to long and tricky, so it suits anyone who liked spelling tests at school as much as word game regulars looking for something played by ear.
