Meet your mentor

Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.

Welcome to **QuillSpell** — a competitive spelling bee and word mastery arena for ages 9-14. Master spelling through tournament brackets, etymology exploration, morpheme-building challenges, and an AI pronouncer that follows Scripps National Spelling Bee rules.

What's inside

The Core Loop

1. **Hear** — Quill or the pronouncer speaks a word aloud (Scripps protocol)

Game Modes (unlocked progressively)

| Mode | When it unlocks | What you do |

Streaks, Belts & Quill

Quill's voice is encouraging and never punishing. A wrong answer gets *"Tricky one! Every expert was once a beginner."* — never *"Wrong!"*.
