Word Fixer
Spot it, then spell it right
About Word Fixer
Find the misspelled word hiding in a sentence, then choose the correct spelling. Proofreading your own writing is a separate skill from spelling to dictation, and this is the one schools test.
Ankhdase tracks 2 distinct skills in Word Fixer, including Spelling and Vocabulary. Because mastery is estimated per skill rather than per game, the questions shift toward whatever a student is getting wrong — and away from what they have already proved they know.
How to play
- One word in the sentence is spelled wrong. Tap it.
- Then choose the correct spelling from the options.
- The wrong spellings are real mistakes people make, not random letters, so read carefully.
- Spotting the error and fixing it are scored separately — noticing comes first.
Skills Word Fixer practices
- Spelling
- Vocabulary
Mastery is estimated separately for each of these, which is what lets the difficulty move independently — a student can be fluent on one and still be fed easier questions on another.
