TileTots
A first spelling game for ages 3–5: see a picture, hear the word, and build it by tapping letter tiles into the slots. The word is shown to trace, letter by letter. On-device; nothing leaves your device.

Meet the cast
TileTots has a tiny friendly crew who show how to build a first word: Spella shows the word and builds it with you, Picto is the picture that tells you the word, Ghosty is the faint letters that show you what to build, and Tippa is the letter tile you tap into its slot (their illustrated storybooks are on the way).
Spella
(Guide) shows the word and builds it with you, letter by letter
Picto
The picture — it tells you the word before you build it (meaning first)
Ghosty
The faint ghost letters that show you what to build (the model to match)
Tippa
The letter tile — tap it into its slot, left to right
