Spell the Spanish Colours Words.
MediumSpell colours words in Spanish, three ways: type them (each round strips away a clue until you're spelling from sound alone), unscramble their letters, or fill in the missing ones. Accents are optional when typing; every word is read aloud.

How to play
- You're shown a colours picture and its English word — type the Spanish for it and press Check (or Enter).
- Accents are optional: type ‘cafe’ or ‘café’ — both count, and we show you the correct accented spelling.
- Use the accent buttons (á é í ó ú ñ ü) if you want to spell it exactly. Stuck? Tap Reveal.
- It gets harder as you go: the picture disappears from round 3, and from round 5 you spell from the audio alone — harder tiers score more.
- Prefer tapping? Unscramble gives you the word's letters jumbled up — tap them in order. Missing letters shows the word with one to three gaps to fill from a small keyboard.

Questions
Do I have to type the accents?
No — accents are optional. ‘cafe’ is accepted for ‘café’. We always show the correct accented spelling and read it aloud so you learn it.
Is this Spanish colours spelling game free?
Yes — it plays in your browser with no sign-up. Sign in only if you want to save the words you spell to your review deck.
What are the three ways to play?
Type it (with three difficulty tiers, ending in spelling from audio alone), Unscramble (tap the jumbled letters in order) and Missing letters (fill in the gaps). Pick one on the start screen and switch any time between rounds.
Can I practise colours other ways too?
Yes — every topic also has a quiz with eight ways to play, including listening, and a matching game with five, so you can drill the same words in different formats.
