How to Play Spellie
Spellie tests your spelling ability across three difficulty tiers: Easy, Medium, and Hard. Each tier presents a different word to spell, and the difficulty reflects how commonly the word is used and how tricky its spelling is.
You hear the word spoken aloud or see its definition, then type what you think the correct spelling is. After submitting, the game shows you exactly which letters are right and which are wrong.
Each tier is independent. You can attempt all three in any order. Scoring is based on how many attempts it takes to spell each word correctly.
A new set of three words is available every day at midnight ET. Your results can be shared as a spoiler-free emoji grid.

Tips & Strategy
- Start with the Easy tier to warm up and build confidence before moving to Medium and Hard.
- For Hard-tier words, break the word into syllables and tackle each one individually. Silent letters and double consonants are the most common traps.
- If you are unsure about a vowel, try the most common spelling first. English words favor A, E, and I in unstressed syllables.
- Listen carefully to the pronunciation. Emphasis patterns often indicate where double letters or unusual spellings occur.
