Help Smiffy Spell!

It’s the Bash Street Spelling Bee, and Smiffy’s determined to conquer the alphabet this year! He’s tired of being the class dunce, and with your help, he’s aiming for spelling stardom!
Imagine this: the Bash Street classroom transformed into a battleground of vowels and consonants, where only the sharpest spellers will survive – Guide Smiffy through a gauntlet of wordy challenges!

Erbert, bless his blurry-eyed soul, is up first. He is Smiffy’s pal, so he might go easy on you (or his mistakes might be genuine!) – You’ll be presented with a word clue, a helpful hint to guide your spelling journey. Then, it’s up to you! Tap on the letters to spell out the word, but be careful! One wrong letter, and your opponent gets a chance to steal the victory!

Each level requires you to correctly spell four words, testing your vocabulary and spelling skills. After Erbert, you’ll face a series of increasingly challenging opponents. Both Cuthbert and Sketch Khad (aka Khadija) are eager to prove their spelling prowess, and they won’t go down without a fight! Rubi, with her confident grin and sharp mind, will be a formidable foe to follow on – if you make it that far.


And then, the ultimate challenge: Teacher! He’s a walking encyclopedia of linguistic knowledge, capable of reciting the alphabet in any direction imaginable. Plus, he’s so old, he’ll probably be dusting off letters that haven’t been in the alphabet since Shakespeare was at Bash Street. Thankfully, he’s also a bit scatter-brained – keep your fingers crossed for him to get distracted and lose his place!


Help Smiffy navigate the treacherous terrain of the Bash Street Spelling Bee? Can you conquer the alphabet and defeat Teacher, proving that Smiffy isn’t just a master of mischief, but a master of spelling too? It’s a test of your vocabulary, your spelling skills, and your ability to outsmart even the most learned of opponents! So, get your thinking caps on, tap those letters, and let the spelling bee begin!
