Spelling

Can someone explain to me how HOD does spelling? Specifically for Bigger and CTC.
Thanks!

This is probably a good place to start: viewtopic.php?p=9500#p9500
HOD uses dictation for spelling starting with it as an option in Bigger. Beyond has two options for spelling lists, and then Bigger has the second spelling list and then first level of dictation. Preparing on up just have dictation, with I think a fe levels in each guide.
