Spelling games for 4th graders

Wordstone is a free fantasy adventure where every spell is a spelling word. Fourth grade covers rarer spellings and trickier forms: -ture and -sure, ph and -ough, special plurals, contractions and possessives, and suffixes like -able and -ous.

Every spell is a word

Children hear a word and spell it to cast a spell. Harder words cast stronger spells.

Pets to rescue

Spelling patterns for 4th grade

How the game fits each child

The opening tutorial finds your child's level, so a 4th grade student who needs easier or harder words gets them. Younger players pick spellings or build words from letter tiles; stronger spellers type. Every word is read aloud, words they find hard come back for review, and a missed word still casts a weaker spell, with no timers by default.

Wordstone is for practice and fun, and we don't promise particular results. It runs in the browser on Chromebooks, iPads and laptops, with nothing to install.
