This is a very simple game. If it's a word, whack it with the left button, if it's a fake whack it with the right button. You have to go fast enough to keep up with the words on the screen but if you go too fast, you will not only lose points, but also the mistakes will stay on the screen, and if the screen gets too full to play, game is over.

There are many scoring options, such as Fifty Fakes, or Any Fifty, and some have a time limit. After you complete whatever it is you're going for, there is a comparison which shows the words, the fakes, whether you were right or wrong and more.

There are many options for enjoying your game, from how long should a round last to animating words so you can chase them around the screen.

The game is rather fun and I'd bet it might help the kids spell better.
