This is an internet based spelling game from Merriam-Webster. Users are given an audio cue by a cute robot, and must spell out the word on the screen, which rewards correct spelling with an audio/visual fireworks display. This is for middle elementary to high school spellers-typical words at the beginner level were ‘airplane’ and ‘elephant’, while at the difficult level, words such as ‘trichinosis’ and ‘silhouette’ were common.
