Play Spelling Bee More in The Quiet Deep

How it plays

A word appears at the top and its letters are scattered below. Your child drags them into the empty slots to build the word. Choose to keep the word on screen as a guide, or have it fade away after a few seconds so they have to hold it in mind.

What it's for

Putting letters in order until they make a word. Your child sets the difficulty on the first screen — how fast things move, how many there are — so the game meets them where they are rather than deciding they aren't good enough.

There is no score to lose, no timer running out on them, and no way to fail. A level ends when it's won. That's the only way it ends.

What it costs, and what we collect

Nothing, and nothing. There is no account, no advertising and no tracking of any kind. Which games have been played is remembered on your own device and is never sent anywhere. The full version is here, and it's short.

The letters escaped and they fled and went free, They scattered themselves where a word used to be, Now nobody knows what it said — can you see? — Put them back in a row for the Spelling Bee!

Where it lives

Spelling Bee lives in The Quiet Deep — words and spelling. It works on a phone, a tablet or a classroom screen, and once it's been opened it keeps working with no signal at all.
