spell4
Take turns calling any number—no number cards needed. Everyone races to spell it, count its letters, and repeat with each new count. First to reach four yells “Four!” and takes the tally.
Play a digital round.
Enter any starting number, or let the generator call one for solo or group play. Race the clock and write each spelling and letter count into the chain pad. Reach 4 to finish.
Ready when you are.
Press “Start the round.” You will spell the number, count only its letters, and use that count as the next number.
Four!
Why does it stop? “Four” has four letters, so once the chain reaches 4, it repeats forever: four → 4 → four.
Look up a chain.
Enter a whole number to see every spelling and letter count on its path to 4—no timer and no round required.
One player calls out any whole number they choose.
Everyone races: spell it, count the letters, then repeat with the new number.
First to reach 4 yells “Four!” and earns one tally.
The next player calls a number for the next round. First to 10 tallies wins.
