» Game Reviews

  • “this game is fun to play. The only problem is it's hard to hear the the words you are to spell... they do not speak clear on most words and you waste your time on asking them to repeat the word of use it in a definition, etc. Great spelling game.” – xxxpcpxxxcurvyxxdiamondxxx
  • “great graphics, cool gameplay. The words can be pretty hard in advanced mode, sometimes hard to understand what they are asking you to spell, but other that that, I enjoyed it!” – lilmissy13

Did you know that…
The earliest evidence of the phrase spelling bee in print dates back to 1825, although the contests had apparently been held before that year.[citation needed] The etymology of the word "bee" in this sense is unclear. Historically, it has described a social congregation where a specific action is being carried out, like a husking bee, a quilting bee, or an apple bee. A key impetus for the contests was Noah Webster's spelling books. First published in 1786 and known colloquially as "The Blue-backed Speller," Webster's spelling books were an essential part of the curriculum of all elementary school children in the United States for five generations
