4 Games For Language Learners

The Wordle is not the only game

Ever since I was a little child, we used to play word games to improve our vocabulary. Back then we were using pencil and paper to play, but now everything has its online version. The fun part is that you can play these games also in your local language.

Word Squeezing. This is fun to play with teams. All you need is a word with at least 7 letters, but preferably no more than 12. Each team has to do their best to create as many words as it’s possible. This game not only improves your vocabulary but also forces you to think fast.

Letter Boxed. I have fun playing this game, though I am not always finding the shortest way. The player needs to connect letters (points) and create words. The goal is to have all points selected with the smallest amount of words. The game is available on NYTimes.

Spelling Bee — also available on NYTimes. Simple and easy to play. There are given 7 letters in a bee-cell shape, the player needs to create words containing the middle letter. The more words - the higher your score.

The Last letter. Is quite easy to play, all you have to do is to create a word with the last letter of the previous one. You may play with the game rules and make them more strict, for example, to use only adjectives or only the words from the chosen book.

So while everyone is in love with the Wordle, why not try other games that also help to improve your vocabulary? Share your favorite games in the comments.
