No Spell Check

No Spell Check asks a question that almost no daily word game asks: could you spell this word if nobody showed it to you? The word is never displayed. It is spoken, and that's it. On screen there is a dated header with the number of attempts and a timer, a DEFINITION card that gives the meaning of the word, a Start button that plays the pronunciation, and a field in which to type the spelling. The site's tagline sums up the intent: “Hard words · No hints”, and its FAQ points out that there is no auto-correct nor red underlining to catch you.

1. Open the day's page. The header shows the date, the number of attempts and a timer at 0:00; three dots just below, the first lit, mark progress through the day's set of words.
2. Read the DEFINITION card, which gives the meaning of the word to be written. It's the only written information available before typing.
3. Press Start to hear the word. The page states you can replay it as often as you like, with the space bar serving as a shortcut.
4. Type the spelling into the field that appears, with three attempts per word, then move on to the next word in the set.

Because it's spelling by ear, an exercise most people leave behind after elementary school and that no modern interface forces on anyone: keyboards autocorrect, word processors underline, search engines guess. Here the word arrives by voice, the definition acts as a safeguard, and you must spell it letter by letter without a net. The format helps: a set of words per day, three attempts each, and the ability to replay the word as many times as you want.

The game screen relies on three indicators, all grouped in the header: the current date, the number of attempts remaining, and a timer shown at 0:00. Below that, the row of dots tracks progress through the word set. A speaker button and a question mark flank the header on the right. Nothing corrects as you type, the site's FAQ even making that a point.

The home page serves the dated set of words for the day, with three attempts per word and a timer.

An Archive link in the navigation bar, backed by a FAQ entry about words from previous days.

• The DEFINITION card is not a bonus, it's the tiebreaker: when two spellings sound the same, only the meaning can decide, and the game's FAQ confirms you can rely on reading the definition without listening.
• You don't have to dive in on the first play: the page explicitly invites you to replay the audio as many times as necessary, using the space bar.
