Spelling lists to practise

Each collection is a short run of ten-word lists chosen and read by SpellingIQ's editors, ordered from easier to harder by the app's own difficulty rating. Every word is read aloud, and it keeps coming back until you spell it right a few times running.

Questions

Who chooses the words?

SpellingIQ's editors, from the words its players miss most often, ordered by the app's own difficulty rating so each collection starts gently. Each collection says when it was last read.

Do I need an account?

No. Any list here can be practised as a guest. Signing in keeps your progress on any device and lets you make a copy of your own.

Can I change a list?

Not the curated one, but Copy to edit puts its words into a new list of your own, which you can rename and change. A copy counts as one of the two lists you can make a day.
