Snowman

Guess letters before the snowman melts.

Same beloved guessing game, kinder stakes — wrong letters melt a snowman instead of building a gallows. Your students will know the rules instantly.

How many students can play?

One to four players take turns, or project it and let the whole class guess together — hands up, one letter at a time.

Can AI pick the words?

Yes. Give it your topic and grade and it fills the word list in under a minute, or type your own spelling words.

Is it free?

Yes. Snowman is included on the free tier with every other game type.

Do students need accounts?

Never. Students join with a code and a name — no emails, no passwords. Teachers don't need an account to try it either.
