Run by LiteracyPlanet, the online competition aims to help students build literacy skills in an engaging way.
It asks students to create as many words as they can from 15 letter tiles in three minutes.

“We are hoping our children will enjoy the opportunity to improve their word building skills and deepen their word knowledge,” he said.
