The word-game collection now gives you more room to learn. Word Sort has 64 categories, relaxed play without a move cap, and a difficulty ceiling you choose. Journey introduces harder bands more gradually; you can also stay with a comfortable Free play difficulty.
Word Ladder offers 440 checked word pairs, undo and hints from your current word. Word Hunt adds untimed play and free hints; after a round, select a missed word to see its tile path. Both use a curated English vocabulary rather than every word in a dictionary.
Rebus Riddles now has 54 visual puzzles, two hints per puzzle and free exploratory guesses. Choose a comfortable set or mix the difficulties. These four games save progress in your browser; their wordplay stays in English when you switch guide languages.
Word Ladder, Word Hunt and Rebus Riddles have left beta following the recent test pass. The October 11 post describes their earlier status. If a word or clue seems wrong, tell us which game and puzzle you were playing so we can investigate.
