When you start, the app will say the word out loud.
You’ll type the word based on what you hear.
Depending on your difficulty level, you may see a hint with some letters missing.
If you spell the word correctly, you move to the next one.
If you get it wrong, don’t worry!
You’ll get another attempt with a hint showing where you made a mistake.
The hint uses colors:
Green - Correct letters in the correct place.
Orange - Correct letters in the wrong place, or wrong case.
Red - Incorrect letters.
If you keep getting it wrong, the difficulty will adjust to help you by showing more letters and fewer gaps in the hint.
The sound button, when clicked will repeat the word being read out by SpellMe. Double clicking it will read it out at slower.
For Premium account holders, students will be shown a smart hint to help them if they are facing difficulty. The smart hint is based on previous mistakes made and directly linked to the word list. It will be shown only when a speller continually gets the spelling wrong, but just before the level 1 hint is shown.

🎯 Mastery Mode (Advanced Account)
Mastery Mode is the same as Regular Mode, spelling will always start from level 1 (for new words), or the current level for that word if not new.
Once you have gone through all the words, you will start again from the beginning, but at the next level (with the hints showing fewer gaps).
If you spell a word incorrectly, you can keep trying till you get it right, with the level reducing at every wrong attempt.
For a word to pass a level, you must spell it correctly at each attempt. Getting it wrong once will keep you at the same level the next time you see it.
There are 5 levels for each word. Reaching the highest level from a word will remove it from the spelling round, leaving only words that have not yet reached level 5.
Mastery Mode ends only when all the words have been mastered (reached level 5). However, your progress is always saved, so you can stop and carry on whenever you like.
Once you master a wordlist, you won’t need to do Mastery Mode with that list again. However, you can always top up, if any of the words reduce in level.
A word can reduce in level in Regular or Story mode by getting it wrong more than once at the same time.
📖 Story Mode (Premium Account)
Story Mode works in the same way as Regular Mode, but you spell along to a story that is automatically created based on your word list and extra story words you can add in the settings.
As the story is read, you will come across the words you need to spell.
The story will pause at each spelling challenge.
Spell the word correctly to move forward; get it wrong, and you’ll get a hint before trying again.
You can add extra words, like names and hobbies in the settings to change the story.
