The games hub with Word Scramble, Odd One Out, Spot the Mistake, Sentence Scramble and the Vocabulary Quiz

Word Scramble

A spelling game for Arabic words. You get the meaning and the letters, shuffled. Tap them back into order, and the answer joins up as you go, the way Arabic letters connect in real writing.

A Word Scramble round: the English meaning, the word so far and the letter tiles left to place

Odd One Out

Four Arabic words: three share something, one doesnโ€™t. Sometimes itโ€™s the meaning, sometimes the grammar: gender, singular or plural, or the three-letter root the words are built from. Every answer comes with the reason.

An Odd One Out puzzle: four Arabic words with transliteration, one of which does not belong

Spot the Mistake

Each Arabic sentence has one word that doesnโ€™t fit: an adjective in the wrong gender, a verb that doesnโ€™t match its subject, a plural that should be singular. Find it, then see the corrected sentence and the rule behind it.

A Spot the Mistake round: an Arabic sentence with its English meaning and one wrong word to find

Sentence Scramble

A word-order game for Arabic. You see what a sentence means in English and its words in a jumble. Tap them into the right order and learn how a sentence in your dialect is put together.

Vocabulary Quiz

A quiz built fresh each time, in your dialect and at your level. Answer by reading, listening or speaking, with single words or whole sentences.

A Vocabulary Quiz question: fill in the blank in an Arabic sentence from four choices

Common questions

Do games actually help you learn Arabic?

Yes, as practice. Every round makes you recall a word, a spelling or a word order rather than just recognise it, and recalling is what makes vocabulary stick. Pair them with reading and speaking, which the games do not replace.

How long does a round take?

A few minutes. A round is five words in Word Scramble, eight sentences in Sentence Scramble, and ten puzzles or sentences in the others.

Do the words I get wrong come back?

Sign in and they do: the words you miss come back later in your review, so a bad round still teaches you something.

How are the games different from each other?

Word Scramble trains spelling and how letters join. Odd One Out trains meaning and grammar patterns. Spot the Mistake and Sentence Scramble train grammar and word order in full sentences. The Vocabulary Quiz mixes reading, listening and speaking.

Try it in your dialect

Egyptian, Levantine, Moroccan Darija or Modern Standard Arabic. Free to start, no card needed.
