How WordGoal works
WordGoal goes beyond listen and spell. Every game trains a different part of word knowledge — sound, structure, change and family.
The game line-up
Each short game ends with independent spelling, but the route to that spelling changes.
01
Listen · spell · score
Hear a word in a sentence, type it from memory and take a shot at goal. Speed and accuracy build the score, while instant feedback and carefully timed clues help missed words stick.
Played across the Training Ground and the Leagues.
02
Build the word
Put prefixes, roots and suffixes into the right order. Once the structure makes sense, hide the word and spell it independently from memory.
Morphology turns one tricky spelling into meaningful parts.
03
See words change
Start with a familiar word, transfer it into a new form and notice exactly what changes. Children learn the spelling rule, then prove it by spelling the new word.
For changes such as busy to business and equip to equipped.
04
Find the family
Select the words that truly belong to the same family, spot the shared spelling connection and finish by spelling the target word from memory.
Children learn relationships between words, not isolated lists.
Word DNA
Curated clues connect spelling with morphology and etymology, so children can understand why a word looks the way it does.
Where children play
The word lists grow from foundations to statutory spelling, while Academy games reveal how those words work.
