What you can make
Games from your words
Your list plays in 26 calm games: hear and find, missing letters, unscramble, a word search and more. It works on any device, with nothing to install.
A link and a QR code
Send the link to a family or a class, or put the QR code on the homework sheet. It plays for anyone on a signed-in grown-up's account.
Worksheets and a spelling test
A4 sheets from the same words, as one PDF to download.
A spelling worksheet generator, and a spelling test maker
Every list makes all seven sheets. The spelling test has numbered lines for a grown-up to read the words aloud, and an answer key on its own page. Word searches and made-up spellings are checked so nothing rude turns up by accident.
- Look, say, cover, write, check Look at each word, say it, cover it, write it, then check.
- Spelling test Numbered lines to write each word, with an answer key on its own page.
- Word search The words hidden in a grid: across, down and diagonally.
- Missing letters Each word with a few letters gone, to fill in.
- Unscramble The letters of each word mixed up, to put back in order.
- Spot the right spelling The right spelling next to believable wrong ones, to circle.
- Word list card The whole list in big, clear letters, to stick on the fridge.

Questions
How much is it?
Your first month is free, with every feature and no card. Then it's £1.99 a month per account. Teachers are free for good once we've confirmed them.
Do I need an account to start?
No. Type your list here and it's kept in this browser. Saving, sharing, playing and downloading need an account for the grown-up, and your list is saved as soon as you sign in.
Why do I need an account to save a list?
So every list has a grown-up behind it. Your lists are saved to your account: change the words in Spellnino and the link updates straight away, or stop sharing and the link stops working. Only adults have accounts, and they confirm they're 18 or over.
Do children need an account?
No. Children play on a signed-in grown-up's device. A shared link plays only on a signed-in grown-up's account, so a stranger can't send a child words to play.
Can I share it with a class?
Yes. Send the link, or put the QR code on the homework sheet. It opens on a grown-up's account. Pupils never need accounts, and we don't track them.
Is it safe for children?
Every word and title is checked when you save it, against a list of swearing, slurs and sexual words, and titles can't hold links, @ names or phone numbers. The made-up spellings in the games and worksheets are checked too. Anyone playing a list can report it, and children see no adverts, prices or upgrade prompts.
Can I use it without making a list?
Yes. The curated lists for Years 1 to 6 are on the site for everyone to read. Start your free month to play them and download their worksheets.
