Free app from Favo
A simple and fun way to practise vocabulary
Vocabulary training might not be the first thing you associate with digital signage. But at Favo, we like solving small, everyday challenges – and sharing the results.
That’s how Spellycat came to life: a simple, browser-based app that makes it easier (and a bit more fun) to practise vocabulary.
No downloads. No login. Read more below, or try it now.
What can you do with Spellycat?
Spellycat is made for anyone learning new words – whether you’re a student, a teacher, or just trying to pick up a new language.
Here’s what you can do:
- Create your own vocabulary lists
- Practise both directions (e.g. English → Norwegian and Norwegian → English) 🔁
- Choose whether you want hints or not
- See how many words you get right – and how fast you answer ⏱
- Practise as much as you like – no limits, no penalties
- Track your progress and try to beat your own scores 📈
It’s straightforward, flexible, and designed to keep you going – even when you get things wrong.
A favourite in the classroom
Spellycat is a great companion for teachers, too! Share word lists with your students via a link or QR code – for example in a weekly plan or as homework.
This way, everyone can practise the words at their own pace.
From student project to everyday tool
Spellycat actually started as a student project.
Karen, who had a summer job with us while studying Information Technology, developed the first version as her first larger web project. Georg – now a full-time developer at Favo – was her supervisor at the time, and later helped refine and complete the app.
What began as a learning project has since become a tool that’s used by people in many different contexts – which we think is pretty great.
Feel free to share Spellycat!

Small tools can make a big difference – especially when they’re easy to use.
