Words, from
first sounds to essays
Phonics, spelling, reading aloud, comprehension, then argument and style. A child who is behind is never told so — they are simply given the thing one step below the thing that went wrong.
In build Being written now. The path below is what is coming.
Which word finishes it?
The cat sat on the ___
Say it out loud first. Listen for the middle sound — the short one, like in "hat".
A sample, not a live game. Pelo hints and cheers — he never chats.
Five stages, three to eighteen
Not five difficulty settings. Each stage changes the reading level, the length of a round, how quickly Pelo offers a hint, and what the whole thing looks like.
Three decisions worth explaining
A wrong answer names the thinking
Choosing "met" for "mat" is a vowel-sound gap, not carelessness. The engine records which one, and hands back the sound before it hands back the word.
Reading aloud, with nobody watching
Children read to Pelo. He never interrupts, never sighs, and never tells anyone how many times it took.
Never a reading age on screen
A number that says a nine-year-old reads like a seven-year-old teaches the nine-year-old exactly one thing. Parents see the detail; children see the next word.
What a child actually does
We did not build five hundred unrelated games. We built fifteen game types any subject can fill, which is why the twelfth academy costs a fraction of the first.
Word Builder
Snap sounds together and watch a real word appear.
Read to Pelo
Read a page out loud. He listens for the words that stall.
Story Machine
A hero, a place and a problem. You write the rest.
Spot the Flaw
One sentence in this argument does not follow. Which?
Most apps adapt the difficulty. Zupelo adapts everything else too.
The pitch of a question is the easy part. What changes underneath is which skill comes next, how it is explained, when a hint arrives, how long a session runs, and what a wrong answer is taken to mean.
Words shares that engine with the other eleven. A day spent on Words keeps the same streak as a day spent anywhere else, because losing interest in one subject should never cost a child the habit.
How the engine picks🐚 One currency
Shells, earned for finishing and for coming back — never for being right. They cannot be bought and cannot be converted.
🔥 One streak
Any academy keeps it going. Miss a day and a streak save covers it, on every plan including free.
🔒 No leaderboard
There is no global ranking and no public profile. Comparison is with your own last week, or with friends a grown-up approved.
Every child learns differently.
Our AI learns how your child learns.
