About Spelling Fox
Spelling Fox turns spelling practice into play. Built for children ages 6 to 10, it lets a grown-up choose the words and lets kids learn them through a set of friendly, hands-on games. A GROWN-UP SETS IT UP Behind a parent gate (PIN or Face ID), you create a profile for each child and choose what they practice — grade-level sight words, themed sets like Animals, Food, and Feelings, or your own words. You can even photograph a printed spelling list and the app turns it into a word set for you. KIDS LEARN BY PLAYING Children spell words by tapping letters, arranging syllables, filling in a sentence, matching pictures, or saying the letters out loud. Words become "mastered" only after a child spells them correctly across several sessions, so learning sticks. A story-mode adventure keeps them coming back. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Everything your family creates stays on your device. Speech recognition and photo text-reading happen entirely on-device — nothing is ever uploaded. MADE FOR FAMILIES • Multiple children on one shared device • Progress tracking and mastery for each child • A parent area protected by PIN and Face ID • Works on iPhone and iPad Spelling Fox is free to start. A single optional one-time purchase unlocks every game, every word set, and unlimited child profiles — no subscriptions, ever.
What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated September 10, 2026
Practice this week's list — and set the pace that fits your child. • A shelf of third-grade spelling bee word lists now leads the catalog, including week-by-week sets. • Before a round, your child can pick which word sets to practise from — just right for the night before a test on one of them. • Grown-ups can set the pace of the two timed games: how long the clock starts at, how much a correct word buys back, and how fast the letters appear. • Tap a word on the dashboard to see its mastery streak — days banked out of three — and spot the words that need another look. • A speaker button on both play screens turns the music off, no parent PIN needed. • Words with an apostrophe, like o'clock, can be spelled now: the keyboard offers the key when it's needed. • Long words stay on one row of letter tiles instead of wrapping.
