Spelling games for children
Good spelling grows from noticing how letters fit together. Anagrams asks children to rearrange jumbled letters into real words, which makes them look closely at letter patterns and sounds — a playful, low-pressure way to strengthen spelling and vocabulary at the same time.

About Spelling games
Spelling through patterns
Strong spellers rely on patterns far more than rote memory. Rearranging letters to form a word trains children to recognise common letter strings, blends and word endings, which transfers directly into their reading and writing.
Vocabulary that sticks
Because every round is a real word, children meet and re-meet useful vocabulary in an active way. Working out a word themselves makes it far more memorable than simply being told how to spell it.
