Pick a Cut
Arcade is ten words. Survival is three lives. Easy, Medium, and Hard change how many syllables you split.
Read the Tablet
The English word is carved on stone tiles. Say it slowly. Hear where a new syllable starts.
Tap That Gap
Tap between letters to place a brass seam. A wrong gap misses. A right gap locks.
Finish the Word
Place every true seam. Two-syllable words need one cut. Three-syllable words need two. Chase a best on each mode.
Key Features
Tap the Seam
Letters sit as stone tiles. The gaps are cuts. Tap the break that splits a syllable, such as re|port.
Instant Quarry Feedback
A true seam flashes brass and locks. A miss sparks rose, resets the streak, and shows the correct cuts.
Three Banks
Easy uses everyday two-syllable words. Medium adds r-controlled vowels. Hard uses three-syllable words with two cuts.
Score That Moves
Hits award hundreds plus a streak bonus. A Score plaque, flying +points, and a saved best stay on the quarry.
What is Seam Split?
Seam Split is a syllable-division game. An ochre quarry holds a carved English word. The player taps the gaps between letters to cut syllables. Correct seams lock. Wrong seams miss. The goal is to split each word the way it is spoken, then raise a score.
Why Play Seam Split?
Cuts You Can See
Syllable breaks sit in the gaps, not on a worksheet line. Students tap the seam they hear.
Words Stay English
Practice words stay in English so the spelling stays intact. Buttons and labels follow the site locale.
R-Controlled Practice
Medium mixes words such as garden, report, and burden so the r-controlled vowel is in a real cut.
Touch First
Play sits under the tablet. Seams are large enough to tap on a phone.
Frequently Asked Questions

No. The practice words stay in English. Buttons, hints, and score labels follow the site locale.
What happens if I tap the wrong gap?
The seam sparks, the streak resets, and the correct cuts are shown. In Survival you lose a life.
What do Easy, Medium, and Hard change?
Easy is two-syllable everyday words. Medium adds r-controlled vowels. Hard uses three-syllable words that need two cuts.
