📖 Jack's Words · ▶ play
Hear a word, build it from letters, then read it in a sentence.

✏️ Jack's Letters · ▶ play
Trace all 26 letters with your finger — starting in the right place, going the right way round.
🔢 Jack's Numbers · ▶ play
Count footballs, add them up and take them away — to 10, then to 20.

For grown-ups
Each game is a single self-contained index.html: no build step, no dependencies, no analytics, no network calls once the page has loaded. Speech is the browser's Web Speech API and always waits for a tap first. Progress is kept in localStorage on the device — nothing is collected anywhere.
The games are written for an iPad mini in either orientation, with finger-sized targets, and they respect prefers-reduced-motion.
The start page at jackbenn.ing is built from google814/Jack, which is the source of truth. The repos here are copies kept in step by tools/sync-game-repos.sh in that repo, so each game also has its own page and its own link.
