What is the Spellie game?
Spellie is a Wordle for kids. It keeps the colour clues that make Wordle fun but uses shorter, everyday words that young spellers know, like CAT, FROG and APPLE. Kids practise spelling, letter patterns and problem solving without it feeling like homework.
This page is a free Spellie-style game you can play online in any browser, with no app and no sign-up. There are three daily words, one for each level, and they change at midnight Toronto time. Practice mode gives unlimited words whenever your child wants more.
Settings let you switch the keyboard to A to Z order, show lowercase letters for early readers, and turn the spell checker or the picture clue on and off.

|---|---|
| Guesses | 6 |
| Clue | Optional emoji picture |
| New words | Every day at midnight, Toronto time |
