Letter tiles online v0.1.0

Tap a letter to add a tile, then drag it into place.

Red tiles are vowels (a e i o u) and blue tiles are consonants. Drag a tile to move it, or drag it down onto the letters to put it away. Tiles side by side in a row make a word; the words show above the board.

Build words by dragging letter tiles on a magnetic-style board. Vowels are red and consonants are blue, and the tiles snap into place.

How to use it

  1. Tap a letter under the board to add a tile. It lands in the next empty spot.
  2. Drag a tile to move it. Tiles snap to the grid, and tiles side by side in a row make a word that shows above the board.
  3. Drag a tile down onto the letters to put it away, or use Clear the board. Press Full screen to build words together on the projector.

Ideas for class

  • Change one letter at a time: cat, cot, cut, hut. What changes the word?
  • Build words with a pattern: all the -at words, then all the -ig words.
  • Dictate a word and let a student build it on the board.
  • Make the longest word you can with the letters of your name or a theme word.
  • Show how a vowel changes the sound: red tiles are the vowels to try in the middle.

Questions

Can several students use it at once?

On the projector, take turns at the board. On a tablet, two students can reach in and move tiles at once.

Why are the colors red and blue?

Red is for vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and blue for consonants, as in many classroom letter sets. The tray also says vowel or consonant for anyone who cannot see the colors.

Is anything saved or sent?

No. The board is cleared when you leave the page.
