Transform words,
build skills

A phonics tool for classroom word building that helps students transform words one letter at a time, fostering language skills in a safe, engaging environment.

Built for educators

Support phonics instruction and language development

No Inappropriate Words

Safety is built-in. All word chains are pre-checked to exclude any unsuitable language, ensuring it's appropriate for classroom use with students of all ages.

Support for Pseudo Words

Allow phonetic combinations that follow sound rules but aren't standard dictionary words. This setting can be toggled to align with phonics lessons.

Phonics Customization

Incorporate specific elements like vowel teams (ai, ea, oa), r-controlled vowels (ar, er, ir, or, ur), consonant blends (bl, st, nd), and digraphs (ch, sh, th, ck).

Accessibility Tools

Use text-to-speech for auditory support, review game history for progress tracking, and select tile sizes (small, medium, large) to accommodate different needs.

Simple and Replayable

Begin with basic examples like "tip → tap → map." The integrated "How to Play" section provides quick guidance for getting started.

Progress Tracking

Monitor student progress with built-in game history and analytics to understand learning patterns and celebrate achievements.
