SpellHive
Spell it out loud, letter by letter — bee practice that coaches every miss
The pronouncer says the word, your speller asks the bee questions (definition, sentence, part of speech, syllables), spells it letter by letter, then types it to lock it in. Every miss gets the rule explained — silent letters, Greek ph, -able vs -ible, doubling. Six levels for ages 6–18, free in the browser.

What you can do in SpellHive on the web
The bee ritual, one word at a time
Hear the word, ask the pronouncer anything, spell it out letter by letter with no backspace showing, say “that's my word”, then type it to lock it in.
A coach, not a red X
The same rule-based coach as the iPhone app: it spots switched I and E, missing twins, dropped silent letters, -able versus -ible endings, mumbly schwa vowels and Greek spellings, and explains the pattern in kid language.
Six levels of real bee words
Hatchling to Legend, ages 6–8 through 18+, each word carrying its syllables, part of speech, definition, example sentence and the hazard that trips people up.
Review hive and daily challenge
Missed words queue up automatically and only graduate after two clean spellings; the Daily Challenge deals five words, one shot each, for double honey drops.
Honey drops, streaks and ten badges
Points scale with your streak and drop if you take a hint, and the badge wall runs from First Honey to Hive Librarian.
Grown-ups' corner
Session length, a daily minute limit, a level lock, a full progress report and a CSV of the missed-word list for the fridge door.
