I love this app in my classroom. Great visual motor skills to move the letters into place. Love that the pictures speak the words when tapped.

This is a nice app for spelling and learning how to interact with a crossword puzzle. The cute photos give nice visual support for the word that should be entered. Need more support then the settings allow you to give a "letter shadow" in each tile….then just drag and drop the appropriate letters to spell the word. I especially like the setting option to make the dragging tiles slightly larger than the space where they need to be entered. This is a nice feature that will help those students that have some fine motor difficulty. Great one and I definitely recommend it. actbyJackieBryla

This app is enjoyable and very helpful for young kids learning to spell. The option to use upper case and lower case letters is great. This is a great app that engages them to focus on letter sounds in a fun way.

The students I work with enjoyed using this app to practice putting letters and sounds together to make words. They feel like they are big kids doing cross words. It has been a great confidence booster in my struggling students.

6 year olds loved this app. Really helped them work on spelling in a fun and different way.

Good introduction to teaching kids about crossword puzzles.

I liked this new way to practice spelling. I enjoyed the ability to use capital and lowercase letters. Thanks!

Great app for 4's and up. Love that they can match letters or spell the word on their own.

Kids loved the crossword format as a way to practice their spelling. Nice to have uppercase/lowercase, too!

Happi Spells allows players to practice their spelling skills in a crossword puzzle format. The player drags a letter tile to the area in the puzzle; the letter stays in the square when placed correctly, or pops out with an auditory cue that it was incorrect, and the player can try again. As each word is spelled correctly, the word is read aloud. It is very intuitive with great graphics. This would be a fun and different way to practice spelling.
