Daily Word for Kids
A new word every day, in four levels. Read a sentence from a Peabody story with one word missing, find it, then open the story. Every child at a level gets the same word, with no account and nothing sent off the device.

What is Daily Word?
A once-a-day word game. Your child reads a sentence from a Peabody story with one word blanked, then finds it. Easy is three big boxes; the other levels use letter tiles, with a one-tap option to pick from three words instead. It practises reading in context, spelling and thinking about which word could fit.
How is the word chosen?
The words come from the stories in the Peabody library. The date, in Mountain Time, picks the word from a fixed list, so every child at a level gets the same word, and it changes once at midnight in Denver. Nothing your child does is sent anywhere; the day is kept in this browser.
What if my child is stuck?
A tap on the speaker reads the sentence aloud. Two letter hints are free, then the game offers three words to pick from. There is no timer and no losing: after six tries the word is shown with its meaning and the story it came from.
When does the word change?
At midnight Mountain Time. A game left open overnight picks up the new word.
