The Problem

Kids struggle to practice spelling lists from school — the tools that exist are either boring, require a parent to quiz them, or don't work with the actual word lists teachers send home.

Approach

Built a simple import flow that reads PDFs from school (automatically finding the bold words teachers typically use), paired with voice pronunciation and adaptive quiz modes so kids can practice independently.

Outcome

Live product with free and one-time $10 premium tier. Thousands of kids practicing daily.
