Check the words
The words land in an editable table. Fix a typo, delete a row or add a missing pair.
Nothing goes to students until you save.
Share one link

FAQ
Can SnapWords read handwritten worksheets?
SnapWords is built for printed and typed worksheets. Handwriting is not officially supported. A clear photo of neat handwriting is worth a try: every result lands in an editable table, so you can fix or add words before you share. For messy handwriting, pasting or typing the list is faster.
What about a PDF with a word bank and definitions?
Upload it. SnapWords reads every page and pairs each word with the meaning written next to it. For word-and-definition lists, set both languages to English. Short definitions work best in the games. If the word bank has no meanings beside the words, add them in the table before you share.
How many uploads are free?
The free plan includes 3 photo or PDF scans a month, plus 1 new lesson and 1 class. The Teacher plan includes 30 scans a month and unlimited lessons. Word documents and pasted lists never use a scan.
Do students need accounts?
No. Students open your link or scan the QR code on the board, pick their name and play. No email, no password, no app to install.
