problem ::

Kids struggle to practice spelling lists from school โ€” 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.
