What Is WordMasters Challenge?
WordMasters is a national vocabulary and verbal-reasoning competition for grades 3-8. Teams study three grade- and difficulty-specific vocabulary lists and complete three analogy meets at their school, then report scores online for national comparison. Blue Division suits average-to-above-average readers and reasoners; Gold Division is designed for highly advanced language students. The 2026-27 basic fee is USD 110 per grade-and-division team, with no student-count limit, and includes three meets, one champion medal, ten certificates, and score reports. October 1 is the recommended enrollment date; the organizer permits later enrollment with reduced preparation time but gives no final cutoff. Meet windows are November 9-27, January 25-February 12, and March 29-April 16. Homeschoolers and students whose school does not participate may enroll using the Non-School Enrollment Form.
October 1 is the recommended 2026–27 enrollment date, and later enrollment is expressly permitted with less preparation time. No final permissible new-enrollment cutoff or rolling-admission statement is published. December 4, February 19 and April 23 score reporting belong to the three meets, not initial application. Grades 3–8 may enter school, homeschool or individual teams under the published rules.
