Spell Pop: pop the bubbles to spell the word
A picture, a clue, and a sky full of letters. Meet Spell Pop, our new word game for readers and spellers of every age.
How it works
- A picture and a clue at the top show the word to spell, with a gap for each letter.
- Letter bubbles float up the sky. Pop them in order, starting with the first letter. Tap or click a bubble, or type its letter on a keyboard.
- A wrong bubble costs one of your three chances for the run.
- A bubble that floats away costs nothing. The letter you need always rises again, so there is no need to rush.
- Spell five words to clear a level.
Scoring
Every right letter scores 10 points times your level, and popping right letters in a row builds a combo that adds more. Spell a word and you bank a bonus, with an extra flawless bonus if you did not pop a single wrong bubble for it. Clear a level and you bank a bigger bonus, plus more for every chance you have left.
Longer words as you climb
Levels 1 and 2 use three-letter words like cat and sun. Then come four-letter words, then five, and from level 7 six-letter words like rabbit and rocket. Bubbles rise quicker and more of them fill the sky on higher levels. Your run is saved whenever you clear a level, so you can pick it up again on the next one.
A few tips
- Say the word out loud first. Knowing the next letter makes it easy to spot.
- Take your time. A bubble you do not need can float away, and the one you want will come round again.
- Watch b and d, p and q. They look alike, and a wrong pop costs a chance.
