Fun & Games at Dictionary.com


Thank you Richard Byrne
for this recommendation!

Dictionary.com offers six registration-free, fun word games. 

For example, in  Miss Spell's Class students are presented with twenty commonly misspelled words and quickly decide if the spelling they're looking at is correct or incorrect.

 Word Kingdom could be described as Zelda meets word search.
Players have to construct words in order to earn objects like wood and gold. Once enough objects are earned players can move on
to the next level until they have built their Word Kingdoms.
