Arabic spelling practice: put the letters in order

See a meaning, hear the word, and rebuild it from scrambled letters. The letters join up as you place them, which is how you learn what Arabic words look like.

A Word Scramble round: an English meaning and the scrambled Arabic letters to place

Watch the letters join

Each letter you place joins onto the last, the way it would in handwriting. Building words yourself is the quickest way to learn how the joined forms fit together.

Hints that teach

Stuck? A hint keeps the right start of the word and places the next letter, so you see where you went wrong.

Common questions

How do I learn to spell in Arabic?

Arabic spelling is mostly regular: once you know the letters, words are written as they sound, apart from the short vowels, which are usually left out. Rebuilding words teaches you which letters carry the long vowels.

Can I type instead of tapping?

Yes, on an Arabic keyboard. Typing ا can place أ or إ, so you don’t need every variant.

Try it in your dialect

Egyptian, Levantine, Moroccan Darija or Modern Standard Arabic. Free to start, no card needed.
