Spelling Bee

Listen to the bee's word, then type it letter by letter. You have 3 lives!

How to play

  1. Listen to the word (tap the bee to hear it again).
  2. Type it one letter at a time on the big keyboard.
  3. A wrong letter costs a heart — you have three for the whole game.
  4. Slip twice on one letter and the right key lights up.
WHAT IT PRACTISES
