It contains over 2,000 words in 3 categories with clear and crisp pronunciations, definitions and etymology.
If you are skeptical about studying with anything other than the dictionary, we recommend that you use our Spelling + Friends App to start improving your word bank for this year’s National Spelling Bee!
The Spell + Friends app provides definitions and their correct pronunciation. Word pronunciations using the recorded audio files which are embedded in our app deliver the words the way they should sound -- so you do not have to rely on the dictionary or search for each word on the internet.
Our Spelling Bee Learning Flashcards better any other traditional workbook and dictionary study methods by providing a constant mobile companion, spelling guide and kit - which tracks your progress word by word.
Words can be marked out as favorite and incorrectly spelled words will be tagged for future improvement and practice.
Our word lists are constantly updated and are comprehensive and suitable for most spelling bees, including National Spelling Bee, North South Foundation Spelling Competition, UIL Spelling Competition, and various school bees, county bees, regional bees, state bees, and hometown spelling competitions.
The Spell + Friends word list includes challenging words from Paideia, the Consolidated Word List (CWL), and regional and national bees since the 1970s, while the bulk of the more difficult words includes Scripps Consolidated Word List (CWL) with all the words with pronunciations, definitions, and etymology!

Pros and cons of Spell + Friends by Tap To Learn app for iPhone and iPad
Spell + Friends by Tap To Learn app good for
I love this app but it would be really nice to have the option of selecting where you start in practice mode. Being able to start at a letter other then A would be fantastic so I could use all the letters as flashcards instead of stopping after 200 A words and having to start from the beginning when I close the app.
Amazing amount of words. Love the format. If practice mode was fixed it would be 5 stars!
Having been in competitions when I was younger, I downloaded this app for amusement. I found that the etymology is lacking for over a majority of the words. I wouldnt ask any more on that part, (although a thorough guide on language patterns, prefixes, suffixes, etc., would be perfect) considering that its a free app. It would also be nice if there was an option to the randomize the words. But overall, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the app.
Really enjoying the game; just have 2 issues: 1) it would be nice to have the option to shuffle/randomize the word list so the words given arent alphabetical; 2) Ive tried to play compete mode and it never connects to anything/anyone - not sure if this issue is because there arent a lot of people playing the game yet? Otherwise, very pleased with the game and layout.
Some bad moments
No ability to shuffle..... Save favorites... Lots of great words to study and learn but no way to control the 11,000 words.
No custom lists? What gives?
I am a Portuguese speaker and was searching for something like this. The only thing I miss is the syllabification. In the practice section, it would be useful if all the tabs were active after the word is shown correctly spelt.
Yet it is too cheap for its value. Congratulations.
I cant believe that i now have on my ipod touch almost the entire Consolidated Word List, no need to carry that huge book around anymore. This is very timely for my class spelling bee. The pronunciations do make this a must have app for a spelling bee champ like me,
This is a great app with so many words and variety to practice, i have not tried the competitions yet, but i am having fun learning these words.
This is a huge word list and its going to take me a while to get thru this, great app though, already enjoying it. Can we add better progress tracking and multiplayer to this.
Great potential, but am i really going to start at the very first word in the whole list each and every time i want to learn or practice? This will make me very good at spelling aardwolf...
I suggest you add features to:
1- segment learning or practice lists so you can define whee you start in each session.
2 - create a feature to randomize within a give set of words.
Please add these features, or something to make it more managable to work through your lists!
