6 Fun Online Word Games for Kids
Adapted from Getty Images
When you make learning fun, children are more likely to engage with it. Online word games for kids reinforce the fundamental concepts they learn in school. From basic phonics to vocabulary building, children of all ages can benefit from free online word games. They may not be ready for Scrabble yet, but they can certainly play these awesome games from the convenience of a web browser.
Wordsmith
Get the kids into anagramming from a young age with Wordsmith. All they have to do is tap the letters in the right order to form the longest words they can find. It’s easy enough for young kids to enjoy, because it starts with only three letters. Even at the highest level, there will be nothing larger than a five-letter word during the two-minute rounds.
As players form words, they earn gems and hope. They can then use these to craft items like triple word score bonuses. Letters have different values, just like in Scrabble or Words With Friends. Form words, earn points, and maybe even learn some new vocabulary along the way.

Spectacular Spelling Play
It’s pretty obvious that children love familiar characters. Just look at their backpacks and lunchboxes. The same is true with word games online. In the case of Spectacular Spelling Play on the PBS Kids website, the game features Princess Presto from Super Why!
The popular TV show is already great for teaching language. The online games are an extension of that. In fact, the game plays out a lot like a Super Why! episode. For younger children still learning the alphabet and basic phonics, this game challenges them to build words based on sounds. It’s very simple with a single level at a time, rewarded with an interactive animated “stage” at the end.

Word Ladder
Many children’s games online use the same fundamental mechanic as games targeted toward older kids and adults.
If you enjoy playing word chain games yourself, then your kids may enjoy playing Word Ladder. The goal is to move from the word at the top of the ladder to the word at the bottom, changing just one letter per rung. BAT can become CAT, which becomes CAR, and then FAR, for example.
Word Ladder starts at level 1 with three-letter words on a three-step ladder for kindergarteners. Level 2 moves up to a four-step ladder, advancing all the way to level 15 with four-letter words on an eight-step ladder for grades 2 and 3. For each level, players get 10 ladders to solve. Kids are offered picture clues in earlier levels, moving up to word-based clues in later levels.

Aim 2 Spell
Some educational games are obviously educational and savvy kids can spot them from a mile away. Hiding the spelling under the guise of an action puzzle game might be more effective for some young learners. A terrific example of this is Aim 2 Spell.
If you’ve ever played a game like Zuma, you’ll know how this works.
The cat in the middle of the stage rotates and “shoots” at the mice passing through the maze around it. Players try to spell the target word by hitting the right mice in the right order. Aim 2 Spell features four sample word lists.
K to Grade 2: Math Vocabulary
Grade 3 to 5: Kn- Words
Grades 3 to 5: Homophones
Grades 6 to 8: Science Words

Word Scramble
Looking for a word jumble that’s more challenging that Wordsmith but not quite as intense as bigger games? Word Scramble is a simple option for a broad range of age groups. Choose easier words for kids in kindergarten and scale all the way up to words for grade 9 students.
To unscramble letters and form words, simply click and drag the letters in order. Players get an “error” sound when they’re wrong, and the letters snap into place when they’re right.
There’s no time limit, no pressure.

Word Search
It’s a classic! While typical word search puzzles may be overwhelming for younger children, the Word Search on The Learning Apps features shorter words on a smaller board. This makes it much more accessible for kids who want to play these types of online word games.
The interface is straightforward enough. Simply click and drag across the letters in the word search puzzle when you find a word. Choose between such categories as animals, cities, colors, fruits, and vegetables.

Digital Word Games for Kids
Recently I wrote about Word Games to Play With Kids. Today I want to expand that list to include digital word games suitable for children to play with supervision, some online and others for iPad. The latter include links to my reviews, where possible. If you're interested in discovering new iPad apps for kids, do take a moment to check out my Pinterest board of all the apps I've reviewed.
Word Games Online
ABCya Letter Blocks: This is a good way for kids to practice spelling. They form words of between 3 and 8 letters by clicking on adjacent letters to make words.
ABCya Make Word Search Puzzle: This is a neat tool where kids can create their own word search puzzles. It's a great way to practice spelling words as children can enter whatever words they like, and choose to print or play online.
Wordshake: This is one of the games at the British Council's Learn English Kids website.
There are 16 letters on a grid and players must attempt to make words with them. Kids are encouraged to try again to beat their own scores.
PBS Word World: This PBS site has games like Dog's Letter Pit, where kids need to make simple words by having a dog catch the letters. Older kids might enjoy Prankster Planet where there are many missions involving words for kids to complete.
Free Rice: The Free Rice website offers more than word games. There are quiz type games in Math, Geography, Languages, Chemistry, English, and Humanities. The word game is under the category: English/Vocabulary. Basically, kids choose the meaning of a given word from four possible examples. Even if children are young, they can ask Mom or Dad, and use a dictionary for help. The game will present missed words again until players get them right.
For each question a player gets right, the site donates 10 grains of rice through the World Food Program to help end hunger. So children are not just playing, and testing their own vocabulary, but playing for the greater good of humanity.
The game keeps score, recording the total rice grains a player has donated.
Merriam-Webster Games: Older kids and parents can challenge each other in games like crosswords, quizzes, and other word puzzles. It's a great way to build vocabulary, compete over words, and have fun.
Word Game Apps for iPad
Word Mover: The free Word Mover app is by ReadWriteThink. This is a digital version of word magnets, enabling kids to create poetry or sentences. They can use words from a bank or add their own, making it quite versatile.
Whirly Word: This is an app that focuses on one thing and does it well. You try to make words from letter supplied on a wheel, competing against yourself. It's free for a limited number of games. Many words are disallowed as the app developers seem to have filtered them out so as not to offend.
Wee Kids: This is a fairly simple app with several word games -- from find-a-words and memory matching through to crosswords. It caters for a range of ages/abilities.
Not free.
Anagram Twist: In this word game, text needs to be unscrambled to create words. The interface is clear and simple. The game is free but you pay to unlock more puzzles.
Whether we play with concrete materials, in real life or online, our children benefit most by a parent or caregiver playing along too. Even if we're busy, it's important for our kids to see that we're interested in what they're doing and that we value word play as an educational and fun activity. With digital games, whether online or other apps, I believe it's imperative for parents to supervise their children.
What digital word games do you and your kids play? Let us know on the Scholastic Parents Facebook page.

Doesn't connect to wifi
The game is good, but the function of playing with friends, unfortunately, does not work
Hello, you need to be connected to the same WiFi to play with other users. After you connected to the same WiFi, you can see the option 'JOIN' on the screen of the game. You need to click that button. If there is anything we can help you with, please inform us. thank you. nine0004
Great idea!
A very well-made game: it's interesting to play, the pictures are beautiful, and at the same time you improve the geography.
But there is a significant drawback: adverbs and even verbs are often mistaken for words, although such a game involves the use of only nouns.Diminutive nouns (river - river) are also used, which is also usually not done in such games. For me, the disadvantage is significant, despite the excellent design and a small amount of advertising. nine0004
Strange rules and words
It seems that the game was created by a person for whom Russian is not a native language.
