Common FAQs

My speakers are working properly, yet I’m unable to hear any audio (music or words) on VocabularySpellingCity. What can I do?

Please try updating Adobe Flash Player on your computer. To download the latest version of Flash, please click here.
After updating Flash, please shut down the computer and reboot after a few minutes.

On the Spelling Test, I can hear “Get ready for the test…,” but I cannot hear the words or sentences being spoken aloud. How can I fix this?

The audio that you are able to hear is Flash-based, whereas the audio that you are unable to hear is an MP3 file. Some school networks are set to block MP3 files. Please contact your school’s IT department and request they designate www.spellingcity.com as an approved site for MP3 files.
