Groups are folders that hold your word lists. Before adding any words, you need to create a group to organize them. Here's how to get started.

Step 1: Go to Word Lists

  • From your Teacher Dashboard, click Word Lists in the left sidebar.

Pro Tip: Use descriptive group names that include the grade level or theme. This makes it easier to manage multiple groups later.
Q: Can I rename a group after creating it?
A: Yes. Click the three-dot icon on the group card and select Edit Group to rename it or change the cover image.
Q: How many groups can I create?
A: There is no limit on the number of groups, but each group can hold up to 60 word lists.
