  4. For a written assignment, type in Your answer and select Submit your work.

  5. Open Practice from the navigation. Solve the Due now puzzles first. Then, under Practise new puzzles, choose a Theme and a Level (Easier, Just right or Harder) and select Start a set.

Good to know

  • A class link or QR code from the academy can open the student login with the academy code already filled in.
  • If the details are wrong, the page asks you to check the academy code, username and password on the login card. The code and username are at least 3 characters, and the password is at least 8.
  • If the student sees Ask your parent to finish setup, a parent or guardian needs to open their family invitation and agree to class information.
  • If the student sees that their account is not linked to a student, ask your parent or coach for the kid login.
  • The student navigation has Your learning, Classes, Courses, Practice, Play and Settings. Training appears only if the academy has turned it on.
  • Some practice puzzles come from mistakes in the student’s own games. After many new puzzles in one day, new ones stop until the next day, but due puzzles stay available.
  • Games with classmates have no free-text chat.
  • Sparring homework against the computer needs a verified date of birth and, for students under 18, parental consent.
  • Students do not see invoice details. They only see a note that the family has an invoice, which a parent can view in the parent portal.
  • If a student record is archived, the portal shows History-only access. Past work can be viewed, but new classes, assignments, puzzles and games are unavailable until the academy restores it.
