Spelling & vocabulary · iPhone
Learn words with a pet by your side.
WordPaws turns a word list into something you can see, hear and play — a picture, a clear recorded voice, a kid-friendly meaning, an example sentence and where the word comes from. A puppy or kitten grows as you learn.
A short plan, every day
Open the app and Today tells you what to do — about 15 minutes.
New words
A few at a time, on learn cards with a picture, a voice, the meaning, a sentence and the word’s origin.
Reviews that come back in time
Words return just as you are about to forget them. Miss a few days and WordPaws eases you back in.
Four short games
Spelling, Picture → word, Word → meaning, Match, Word search — plus Tricky part and Word families for spelling patterns. Each run is two to three minutes.
Spelling with hints that help
Stuck? The next letter fills in, or the whole word appears as light letters you type over — so a hint still teaches.
Your pet
Choose a puppy or a kitten. It eats the day’s words as breakfast and dinner and grows as you study.
Wrong words, fixed
Every missed word waits in one place and comes back until you have it right on two different days.
For the whole family
One phone, several learners — each with their own level, books and progress.
Books to download
Tap Find more books for ready-made lists with pictures and voices. They work offline.
Your own lists
Photograph a school word list or type the words. You check every word; missing cards are made for you.
Groups and sharing
A teacher or parent can share a book with a group. Only words travel — never a child’s name or answers.
Backup
Save a backup file you keep yourself, and restore on a new phone. Export a learner’s words as a spreadsheet.
