Spell the Spanish Sports Words.
MediumSpell sports 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 sports 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.

Can I practise sports 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.
