What ages is Word Tag ® for?
We generally recommend Word Tag for ages 7-12. However, there is no age limit on fun! Word Tag can easily be enjoyed by kids outside of the recommended age range if they have the reading capability and motor skills needed for the game.
How is Word Tag ® educational?
Although kids might not see Word Tag ® as a learning tool, they are improving their vocabulary with every play — even in as little as 15 minutes a day.
Word Tag ® introduces children to new words in bite-sized batches. This approach helps cement material better than plenty of information in one dose. Kids are then repeatedly exposed to these words, through activities that target all aspects of word learning. Mini-games cover a word's meaning, spelling, pronunciation, and usage with context. Your child will not only be exposed to new vocabulary; they will truly understand it.
Word-learning is the key to success in the game. Building their vocabulary by collecting new words is the mechanism by which kids progress to the next level, win prizes, and explore. The dopamine release in kids’ brains reinforces their learning experience positively. This enjoyment keeps them coming back to play (and therefore learn) more and more!
Is Word Tag ® a paid app?
You can trial Word Tag ® free of charge for a week. After this, there is a monthly subscription. The price varies depending on your currency, and there is a discount for a full-year subscription.

In the summer of 2022, we ran a focus group with kids to test the efficacy to participate in the project testing the efficacy of Word Tag. Here's what we found out:
For kids to truly integrate new words, they need to experience the word in its form, in its context, and in relation to other words. So we've built a universe that's centered around exactly that: opportunities for students to encounter words in meaningful ways. Pairing this approach with spaced repetition, Word Tag gives students 6-8 exposures at increasing time intervals so they can achieve vocabulary mastery.
On their first encounter with a word, students learn spelling and pronunciation by arranging jumbled word parts correctly. They then see a kid-friendly definition to understand the word's meaning.
Students learn to use words in context by selecting the appropriate word to complete engaging sentences from different genres, helping them generalize the use of the word and grapple with its meaning.
Students enhance their understanding of a word's meaning by choosing synonyms or word pairs that can be used with the main word. By exploring relationships with other words, kids develop a more robust picture of how the word can be used.
After reaching the Daily Word Stars goal, students reinforce their learning through a fast-paced quiz that involves selecting synonyms or word pairs. Experiencing the word multiple times helps the players commit the word to memory.
Encompassing school subjects, exam materials, and totaling approximately 6000 words,
our word lists allow you to choose and assign the words students learn while they play Word Tag.
It's always a good sign when kids cheer when you ask them to play a certain game, and it was the typical response when they were asked to play Word Tag.
