"Happi Spells" is the crossword spelling game where kids can practice spelling in a fun and exciting way by dragging letter tiles on to 60 different mini crossword puzzles. Compete for "snails" and try to improve your own high score. Don't like your score on one puzzle - just go back and try to beat it. The fewer mistakes, the more "snails" you earn. Every solved puzzle will open up a new one.
Game Description:
"Happi Spells" consists of 60 mini crossword puzzles in 5 different levels with 12 puzzles in each level.

Tiles dragged to an incorrect box will "go back". Colorful images illustrate all words in the crossword puzzles.

The kids in my class enjoy this app. I like that the picture helps them spell and that they need to search for the words! They feel like big kids because of the format so it is engaging.
Great way to practice spelling

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.
Fun and educational!

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

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

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.
Very helpful

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.
