Seven practice games and the Daily Express

The seven games share your word-set filter and keep personal bests. They never change your Study review schedule.

Daily Express is the eighth and the odd one out: one shared route a day, the same words for everyone, and your Study filters do not apply to it.

Daily Express icon01

30 seconds

Daily Express

One shared route a day: the same words for everyone, thirty seconds, one attempt. Finish it live and the day joins your streak and the standings. Older days can be practised any time without counting.

Play Daily Express →
Wort Rally icon02

75-second runs

Wort Rally

Match five German words to five English meanings while the board keeps refilling. Accuracy builds a streak; hesitation costs time, not Study progress.

Play Wort Rally →
Blitz 60 icon03

60-second runs

Blitz 60

Pick the right meaning before the clock reaches zero. Correct streaks raise the score multiplier, so quick guessing is weaker than quick certainty.

Play Blitz 60 →
Sharp Ears icon04

10 audio rounds

Sharp Ears

Hear a German word before seeing it, then identify it among four similar options. Replay the recording whenever you need another listen.

Play Sharp Ears →
Sentence Switch icon05

10 sentences

Sentence Switch

Turn an English meaning into a complete German sentence by arranging shuffled word tiles. Every round uses an audited Vokabahn example.

Wortle icon06

6 guesses

Wortle

Find one five-letter German noun in six guesses. Green letters are correct, gold letters belong elsewhere and gray letters are absent.

Play Wortle →
Eisweg icon07

2 short crossings

Eisweg

Guide the penguin across six word floes in German, then cross back through their English meanings. Umlauts never block a run: ae, oe, ue and ss are accepted.

Play Eisweg →
Der Die Das Dash icon08

45-second runs

Der Die Das Dash

One German noun at a time, three big buttons: der, die, das. Right answers build a streak that raises your score; a miss shows the right article so it sticks.

Play Der Die Das Dash →

Why use it

What Games gives you

01

Wort Rally and Blitz 60

Match German–English pairs in a continuous board, or choose meanings against a 60-second clock. Both reward quick discrimination across a changing pool.

02

Sharp Ears and Sentence Switch

Identify a German word from audio without seeing it first, or rebuild audited example sentences from shuffled tiles to practise German word order in context.

03

Wortle

Spell a five-letter German noun from its article and meaning in six tries, with correct duplicate-letter scoring. It is spelling and pattern recognition, not a disguised flashcard.

04

Eisweg

Type six useful German words to cross the ice, then type their English meanings on the return. ASCII spellings such as ae, oe, ue and ss are accepted.

05

Der Die Das Dash

See a German noun and tap der, die or das as fast as you can for 45 seconds. Every answer shows the noun with its article, so genders stick.

06

Play without distorting progress

The seven practice games use your chosen set; Daily Express uses a shared set. Neither changes your Study review schedule. When a word needs durable work, move to Study.
