Wordwall

About

We're Wordwall, and our journey began in a London secondary school classroom back in 2006. One of our founders, a teacher at the time, envisioned a digital way to replicate the classic literacy exercise of sticking laminated words on a wall. He created a simple program to type in words and even added a fun, game-show-style random picker. That was the very first spark of what Wordwall would become. For many years, we were a bit of a niche product, primarily PC software bundled with interactive whiteboards or used with audience response systems. We learned a lot during that time, experiencing both successes and failures that helped shape our core principles for product development. A significant shift happened in 2016 with the launch of Wordwall.net. Our concept was straightforward: empower teachers everywhere to create and share their own learning resources. The rise of HTML5 web standards was a game-changer, allowing interactive content to run on any device – computers, tablets, smartphones, and interactive whiteboards. This meant no more installed software or reliance on expensive hardware. Our top priority became making the platform incredibly easy to use, so educators could discover its power for themselves. We're passionate about providing a tool that allows teachers to design both interactive games and printable materials. They simply input the content they need, and we handle the automation. We're proud to have built a diverse, fully remote team of about 25 people spread across 12 countries, all dedicated to making Wordwall an amazing resource for educators and students worldwide. We're constantly striving to improve, building a world-class product by demanding excellence in our work and focusing on quality in all its forms.
