Zpell: the word MASK spelled out, three gold stars earned and the door open

The fun way to learn how English is written.

English words rarely sound the way they are spelled. Zpell trains your ear and your fingers at the same time.

Learn by ear

You never see the word: you hear it. It is dictation turned into a game, the best way to connect how English sounds with how it is written.

Real words that grow with you

From cat to treasure: words from 3 to 8 letters, chosen so the voice is never ambiguous, getting longer and trickier as you go.

Stars you earn and spend

Up to three stars per level: no mistakes, fast, one listen. Spend them on a hint or a second chance — but every hint costs more than it gives.

American or British

Choose the accent you want to learn and the speed of the voice, and change it anytime without leaving the game.

Every letter counts.

Each right letter flies from the keyboard to its place and flips into view. A wrong one, and the zombie takes a step.

Zpell gameplay: the letter M lands in its place with sparks while the zombie waits on the left

50 levels. 5 worlds. One secret.

Every world has its own night, its own weather and a boss waiting at the end. Collect enough stars and a sixth world opens.

Caught? Not yet.

When the zombie reaches you, your stars can push it back. Use them well: they are all you have until the end of the run.

The Revive panel: spend six stars to push the zombie back and keep playing

Just the game.

No ads. No account. No data collected.

Zpell keeps your best score and settings on your iPhone and nowhere else. Safe to hand to anyone learning English.

The door is locked. Can you spell your way out?

Start with three letters. Finish with the Nightmare.
