An African word search game in the languages that raised us. A fresh puzzle every day, the same for every player.
Free to download · 13 African languages · 8 countries
Trace hidden words across the grid in Twi, Yoruba, Igbo, Swahili and more. Every word comes with its meaning, so you learn as you play.
Every day brings a fresh Word Search with a new category. Everyone playing in your country and language gets the very same words, so you can compare results with friends and family.
Choose your level, or climb as you play. Higher levels let words run in more directions, and the game coaches you the first time you meet them.
Words run right, down, or diagonally down-right. A gentle way in.
Words can now hide backwards and climb upwards. A short animated lesson shows you how.
Every diagonal is in play. For players who have the languages in their bones.
Pick your side before you play. This isn't just a setting. It's a declaration. Your flavour shapes your words.
