A corrective spelling app built around animated links, practice tests, and progress tracking.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Sir Linkalot is a spelling-learning app for children and students, with options for home-school and classroom use. Its central method uses animated mnemonic “links” to connect words with memorable visual cues. Learners can practise through multiple-choice spelling tests and crossword challenges, then monitor progress and scores. Content is arranged in bundles covering spelling, homophones, rules and patterns, punctuation and grammar, prefixes, and etymology. Times Tables content is also included.
The paid plans are structured for individual learners and groups. Personal monthly costs £6.99 per subscription per month, with access to current bundles and customer support. Personal annual costs £49.99 per subscription per year and adds access to current and future bundles; a homeschooling discount is available. The Schools and Groups plan includes current and future bundles, customer support, and a browser version for whiteboards. The product has no free plan, so individual buyers should compare the monthly and annual options with their expected study period. Annual access is the better fit for learners who expect to continue using the growing bundle library.
Sir Linkalot fits settings that want corrective spelling practice centred on mnemonic links rather than dictation or phonics instruction. Browser access supports classroom whiteboards, while iOS and Android apps extend access to mobile learners. The bundle structure gives it a broader language-learning scope than spelling words alone, including punctuation, grammar, prefixes, etymology, and Times Tables. Learners or educators seeking imported word lists, phonics instruction, or dictation practice should choose a tool that specifically provides those methods. Sir Linkalot is most suitable for learners who respond well to visual memory cues and structured spelling-pattern practice.
