Turn Your Spelling List Into a Game
Word Warp is a free spelling game that plays your own weekly word list, in a web browser on a desktop or laptop, with no account, no sign-in and nothing to install. Paste this week's words, press the button, and you get one link. Anyone who opens it plays Word Warp with your list already loaded: the word appears on the warp gate, vanishes, and they type it from memory before the gate closes. Put the link on your class page or in the weekly email.
Your own list, one link for the class
