The Spelling Test That Proves Mastery
Your child has been practising. Now let them prove it — and walk away with a certificate.
SpellCrush's Spelling Test is a 10-word, no-hints milestone check. Ace it for a printable certificate, a reward, and XP. The perfect finish line for a week of spelling words.
Practising Is Not the Same as Proving
Daily practice is forgiving by design — hints, retries, and a friendly nudge toward the right answer. That's exactly how words get learned. But sometimes you want a clean, honest checkpoint: has my child actually got this list down?
Practice has training wheels
Hints, audio replays, and visual aids help your child succeed during practice — but they won't be there on the real classroom test.
A test removes the supports
The Spelling Test strips away the help: just the word, its definition, and a box to type in. It shows what your child can do unaided.
A certificate marks the win
Mastery deserves a moment. A perfect score produces a printable certificate — a tangible reward kids are proud to show off.
How the Spelling Test Works
It mirrors a real classroom spelling test — simple, focused, and fair.
Hear the word
Each of the 10 words is read aloud with clear AI audio, matched to your child's English dialect. They can replay it, and they see the word's definition for context.
Type the spelling — no hints
Your child types the word and moves on. There are no spelling hints, no visual memory aids, and no second attempts. It's a genuine test of recall.
Get scored instantly
The moment the last word is in, the test is scored. Your child sees exactly which words were right and which were missed, with the words they typed.
Ace it — collect the certificate
A perfect 10/10 unlocks a downloadable PDF certificate, a reward added to their balance, 50 XP, and any new Spelling Test achievements.
A Certificate Worth Earning
Because the test passes only on a perfect score, the certificate actually means something. It names the word list, shows the score, and is yours to download and print — a small celebration that turns "they've been practising" into "they've mastered it."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SpellCrush Spelling Test?
The Spelling Test is a milestone check that confirms your child has mastered a word list. It presents 10 words one at a time — your child hears each word read aloud and sees its definition, then types the spelling. Unlike practice, there are no hints, no visual aids, and no second chances. Score 100% and your child earns a printable certificate, a reward, and XP.
How is a Spelling Test different from the free spelling assessment?
They do different jobs. The free spelling assessment is a diagnostic that finds your child's grade-equivalent level by adapting difficulty up and down. The Spelling Test is a fixed 10-word milestone check on a specific list, with a pass bar of 100% and a printable certificate as the reward. Assess to find the level; test to prove a list is mastered.
What score does my child need to pass?
A perfect score — all 10 words correct. This high bar is what makes the certificate a genuine mark of mastery. If your child misses a word, they can review which ones they got wrong on the results screen and retake the test anytime.
What does my child earn for acing the test?
Three things: a downloadable PDF certificate showing the word list and score, a reward added to their balance ($1.00 in money mode or 100 ⭐ in points mode), and 50 XP toward their level — plus any Spelling Test achievements newly unlocked. To keep it fair, the reward, XP, and achievement are granted only the first time a child aces a particular list.
Where do the test words come from?
If a custom word list is assigned to your child, the test draws 10 words from that list — ideal for confirming this week's school spelling words are mastered. If no list is assigned, the test uses grade- and age-appropriate words from the built-in library, matched to the same difficulty range as your child's practice sessions.
Can my child retake a Spelling Test?
Yes, as often as they like, and each perfect score earns a fresh certificate. The reward, XP, and achievement are awarded only on the first time a child aces a given word list, so retaking a passed list won't farm extra rewards.
Is the Spelling Test free?
Yes. The Spelling Test is available on every plan, including the free plan, using grade-appropriate words from the built-in library. Testing against your own custom word list requires Premium, since custom word lists are a Premium feature.
Turn Practice Into a Certificate
Set up a word list, practise it for a few days, then let your child prove it on the Spelling Test. Acing it earns a certificate they'll be proud of — and you'll know the list is genuinely mastered. Free to start.
