A NimbleZen adventure · Designed by a kid

The story

The Great Unspelling has begun.

Two word-thieving parrots are stealing the letters right out of the Spelliverse — and one by one, the worlds are going dark. Only a new Word Wizard can spell them back to life. Ferris thinks it's you.

Jabber

Wanted

Talks in stolen words. Every letter he takes, he repeats — backwards.

Squawk

Wanted

The brains and the muscle. If a vowel's missing, Squawk sat on it.

The rescue party

Eight friends. Eight rescue missions. One Spelliverse.

The same NimbleZen cast from QueXplorer — plus the Bog crew and Ferris the Word Wizard himself. Every friend hosts their own spelling game, and every game teaches spelling a different way.

Ferris

Your guide

The keeper of the Spelliverse. When the Unspelling began, he went looking for a new Word Wizard — that's you.

Sage

Sage's Word Safari

The wise owl who knows every word at every level. Train with him and the Spelliverse glows brighter.

Ruby

Ruby's Missing Letters

The sweetest hostess in the kingdom — and the first to notice her letters going missing. Patch the holes before more slip away.

Glimmer

Glimmer's Vowel Magic

Her vowels vanished into thin air. Place each one back in its glowing spot with her five magic wands: A, E, I, O, U.

Walter

Walter's Shout It Out

Big heart, bigger voice. Spell words OUT LOUD and Walter will hear you — your voice never leaves the device.

Angus

Angus's Code Cracker

The dapper crow has intercepted secret words. Crack them tile by tile before the trail goes cold.

Herschell

Herschell's Five Clues

The Bog's finest detective is closing in on whoever's behind the Unspelling. Solve his cases from the vaguest clue for the biggest reward.

Lucy

Lucy's Web Escape

Words are caught in the web and the spider is creeping closer. Guess letters, snap them free, and escape before the web closes.

How it works

Thirty seconds to the first rescued word.

Hear the word

Spoken aloud with a kid-friendly definition — slow voice available.

Spell it

Type it, tap it, or say it out loud, letter by letter.

The Spelliverse glows back

Coins, awards, and one more word rescued from the Unspelling.

In the app

Worlds worth saving.

Ferris Needs You

The Great Unspelling has begun.

Explore Words. Unlock Worlds.

Magical worlds to spell back to life.

Eight Rescue Missions

Every friend hosts their own game.

Spell It Out

Hear it, sound it out, spell it — kindly corrected.

Daily Quests

Three new quests every day. WANTED: Jabber & Squawk.

Made for learning

Education first. Adventure always.

No. 01

Six levels, kindergarten through college

Grade-leveled words from kindergarten and first grade all the way to college, with hundreds of words in every tier. Master 25 words and Ferris himself promotes you to the next grade.

No. 02

Every word teaches

Every word comes with a kid-friendly definition and part of speech. The app speaks each word aloud — and can spell it out — with a slow-voice option for younger spellers.

No. 03

Spell with your voice

Tap Speak and spell out loud — letter by letter. Speech recognition runs on the device; audio never leaves it, and every game works without the microphone too.

No. 04

Kind corrections

Get a word wrong and Spelliverse never shames — it gently shows the fix (ore = or) and cheers the retry. The bots in Battle mode are tuned the same way: they push you, but they never stomp you.

No. 05

Quests, battles & the Shop

Three fresh quests every day, best-of-5 spelling battles against the cast, coins for every win, and a Shop where earned coins — never money — bring a companion along on your adventure.

No. 06

Made for families

No ads. No tracking. No purchases. No data collection. Fully playable offline as a guest — perfect for car rides and flights. Grown-up areas sit behind a parental gate.

A free spelling app for kids — kindergarten to college.

Spelliverse is a free spelling game for kids on iPhone and iPad. Young spellers start with spelling games for kindergarten and first grade; the word bank grows through second to fifth grade spelling practice, middle school, high school, and all the way to college-level words — so it's as at home with a five-year-old sounding out CAT as it is with a teenager prepping for a spelling bee or the SAT.

Every word is spoken aloud with a kid-friendly definition, making it a natural companion to phonics practice and weekly word lists. Kids can type their answers or spell out loud with their voice, and wrong answers get kind corrections instead of buzzers. And because it's a kids' game with no ads, no tracking, and full offline play, it's built for car rides, flights, and classrooms alike.

Teachers and homeschoolers: Spelliverse is built to sit alongside any word list — ask us about custom lists.

For grown-ups

Free. Private. Offline.

Spelliverse collects nothing. There's nothing to buy, nothing watching, and nothing that needs the internet.

Price

Free

No ads. No purchases. Coins are earned by playing — never bought. Ages 4+.

✓ No data collection, no tracking, no third-party analytics
✓ Voice spelling is processed on the device — audio never leaves it
✓ Sign-in and leaderboards are optional, grown-ups only, behind a parental gate

Designed by a kid, for kids. Thanks, Zach.

Spelliverse was dreamed up by Zach O'Mara — a kid who wanted spelling practice to feel like a rescue mission. So we built the mission.

The worlds are waiting. The words are calling.
