        What is Languagle?

        It's like Wordle, but instead you've got to guess a language. Every day you'll see some text, and you have to work out what language it is. Each guess gives you a clue: an arrow pointing to where the language is mostly spoken, with a few caveats (see How to Play).

        How is it different from Wordle or Worldle?

        It's the same idea as Wordle and Worldle: one puzzle a day and six guesses. The difference is you're guessing a language. Me and my mates play loads of these on holiday, which is where the idea came from.

        Where do the phrases come from?

        They're real proverbs, sayings and everyday phrases from over 180 languages, each one sourced and written in its own script. Every past answer is in the archive, with the translation, what it means, how to say it and a bit about the language.

        Who makes Languagle?

        Languagle is a solo project curated by Matt Scotting. I've put together a 500-day schedule of phrases, expressions, idioms and proverbs from all the major spoken languages. My hope is that it gets shared and enjoyed by everyone who's into daily challenges. There's more about how it started on the About page. Thanks for playing!
