New to edSmartbee? Here's the quick tour. There are three ways to play, and each one builds a different spelling muscle. ## Practice Your relaxed, no-pressure home base. Work through levels at your own pace, with hearts, hints and power-ups to help you along. Every word comes with its meaning, origin and a sentence — read aloud so you can listen and learn. ## Challenge Ready to test yourself? Challenge mode times you and tracks your streak. Same words, but now the clock is ticking and every correct answer climbs the leaderboard. ## Compete The big stage. Enter competitions, go head-to-head with spellers across the country, and win recognition — and prizes. It's where practice pays off. Start in **Practice**, warm up in **Challenge**, then shine in **Competition**. Whichever you choose, you're growing your vocabulary one word at a time. Ready? Pick a mode and start spelling.
