Common questions
Isn't Arabic word order flexible?
Often it is, especially in speech. The sentences in this game are chosen to have one natural order, so the answer is not up for debate. They are short, everyday sentences, not lists or phrases that could go either way.
Can I hear the sentences?
Yes. Once a sentence is solved you can play it aloud in your dialect, and read its transliteration.
What level are the sentences?
You choose. Beginner sentences are three to six words of everyday Arabic; advanced ones run up to ten words with richer vocabulary.
