Slang - a game that teaches common idiomatic English expressions
SAT Words - a vocabulary word game teaching a 1000 words commonly found on the SATs
Eight Letters in Search of A word - This is fun and educational to play in groups or alone.
MatchIt - This implementation allows you work your way systematically through the entire dictionary. It helps build grammar skills since there are various forms of the same word.
Letter Blocks - A great implementation of the word game where you form words from adjacent letters under time pressure to advance through levels.

Audio Word Match
SpellingCity just totally revised the Audio Word Match game which follows on the heels of a huge upgrade of their
The New Audio Word Match Game does exactly what Lisa D suggested: it shows each word for awhile after they get it right. Also, they seem to have switched to the more traditional matching game where there is only type of card.
