Word Club
What Word Club is
Word Club is a mobile app for students studying spelling and vocabulary, including preparation for spelling bees. Its quizzes cover 450 School Level Study List words and 4,000 Words of the Champions words. Learners can choose among five spelling modes and three vocabulary modes, then track progress across both study lists. The 4,000-word set draws on Merriam-Webster Unabridged, the official dictionary of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Any game can be played offline, with results syncing to the account after reconnection. The app receives its current school-year study words annually, right after Labor Day. Teachers at enrolled schools can log in to access and distribute lists. It is available on Android and iOS with a free plan. Account holders can contact support through the app’s Settings page; others can submit a website ticket. The Bee says its age-verification process checks that new account creators are at least 13. It also notes that internet transmission is not completely secure, despite security procedures for personal data.
