Word Game
The Word Game widget turns spelling practice into a whole-class challenge. A mystery 5-letter word is hidden on the board, and the class guesses together: green means the right letter in the right place, amber means the letter is in the word, and grey means it is not in the word at all. Teachers can also set their own word, which makes it perfect for weekly spelling lists. No signup needed.
