Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
What it is
Word Club is a free mobile app for studying spelling and vocabulary, including preparation for spelling bees. It offers quizzes on 450 School Level Study List words and 4,000 Words of the Champions words, with five spelling modes and three vocabulary modes. Learners can track progress across both lists. The Champions words appear in Merriam-Webster Unabridged, the official dictionary of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Games work offline, and results sync to an account after reconnecting. The app is updated each year just after Labor Day with words for the current school year. Teachers at enrolled schools can access and distribute study lists. The app is available for Android and iOS at no listed cost. The Bee says its account process checks that new account creators are at least 13. Account holders can contact support through the app’s Settings page; others can submit a website ticket. Scripps describes security measures for personal data it receives and notes that internet transmission cannot be completely secure.
