All SpellPundit word lists are arranged in small sets that can be prepared in Learning Mode and Testing Mode. In Learning Mode, the speller is provided with the word and all the associated information like audio pronunciation, part of speech, language of origin, definition etc. in a flashcard format. The word may also include a "hint," which are usually language patterns or Latin/Greek roots associated with the word, to facilitate spellers’ learning of the word. In Testing Mode, the speller is provided with all the word’s information and must type in the correct spelling of the word.

SpellPundit's software tracks all the words a speller misspells and provides spellers with the option to review only their previously misspelled words in future attempts. Spellers are also given the option to “flag” words in each set and prepare these words separately. Reports of a speller’s progress and performance can be generated at any time so that the speller can identify words that need further preparation..

For effective learning, it is recommended that a speller studies every word through the Learning Mode before evaluating themselves through the Testing Mode. Afterwards, the speller should review the words they misspelled through the Learning Mode, then use the Testing Mode to test themselves on their mistakes.

The Scripps National Spelling Bee and various regional spelling bees also test students on vocabulary. To help with vocabulary preparation, the vocabulary words and their meanings are provided in the SpellPundit’s vocabulary word lists. These lists are arranged in small sets that can be practiced in both Learning Mode and Testing Mode, and SpellPundit’s software will facilitate the preparation of up to a several thousand vocabulary words per day. At this rate, vocabulary preparation for the Scripps National Spelling Bee and other bees can be completed in a few days. Over the last three years, more than 90% of the vocabulary words asked at national competitions came from the vocabulary word lists.

The prefixes, suffixes, and roots are the basic building blocks of many words (especially those from Latin and Greek origins), and they play a critical role in spelling and vocabulary. About 2,000 common prefixes, suffixes, and roots from various languages are compiled in this module. In the Learning Mode, the speller is able to see the root, its definition, its origin, along with a few example words. The Testing Mode allows the speller to quiz themselves on the definitions of these roots in a multiple-choice format. This module is important to build a strong foundation of roots for success in competitions.

Homonyms are words with the same pronunciation but different spellings and definitions. Spellers must be able to distinguish between homonyms and spell the correct one, making them some of the most confusing words asked in spelling bees. SpellPundit’s Homonym Module allows spellers to learn how to distinguish about 4,000 homonym words from each other and eliminate confusion! In the Learning Mode, a speller is shown all the homonyms associated with a particular word and their definitions. The Testing Mode then allows spellers to practice these words so that homonyms can be tackled easily during competitions. The Homonym Module is one of the most unique and useful word lists that SpellPundit provides.

SpellPundit can generate custom word lists on request. Some examples of custom word lists are words from a particular spelling bee’s list or words from a certain category (ex. Geographical names, world currencies, animal/plant genus names).
