Free Spelling Games

I’ve created five spelling games for Spelling Test Buddy. They are hugely popular on the platform, with some games being played many thousands of times per day.

But given how easy it is to rapidly create games these days, in the back of my mind I’ve always been a little bit worried about someone taking this idea of spelling games, building it themselves, and releasing it for free.

So, last week I took a minute to browse around and discovered:

  • A few key domains were actually available
  • Keyword search showed some real promise of generating traffic to those exact match domains
  • Ad-supported models for this are actually still pretty effective (over the medium term)

With this, I present to you FreeSpellingGames.com, where students can improve their spelling with games, for free.

FreeSpellingGames.com will contain most if not all of the spelling games found in Spelling Test Buddy. It will be ad-supported.

It is meant to let casual users and students try and play the games. For more advanced features of saved word lists, classroom management, reporting, tests and practice, however, use Spelling Test Buddy.

Enjoy!

Spelling Test Buddy in the wild

This is cool.

A journalist from the Township Journal (a local newspaper serving several counties in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania) reached out because they were doing a feature on a local school Spelling Bee. They wanted to put the sample words into their web version.

We worked with them to get an embedded version of Spelling Test Buddy hosted on their article. Now, readers of the interactive version of the article, Test your skills this spelling bee season, can take a version of the same spelling test that students took, and compare how they did.

Try out the spelling test to see how you compare!
