How does AlphaWort work?
AlphaWort gives you a clue for each of the 28 German letters (A–Z plus Ä, Ö, Ü). Your task: guess the German word that starts with that letter.
The four modes
Choose one of four game modes on the home page:
- Daily Challenge
Same 28 questions for everyone every day. Measure yourself against others, only 1 attempt per day.
- A1–B1
Multiple choice, simple vocabulary for beginners. Vocabulary is continuously expanded and improved.
- B2–C2
Free typing, advanced vocabulary for experienced learners.
- Fun Mode
Play unlimited, no time pressure, no stress.
Skipping
If you skip a question, it moves to the back of the queue and comes up again later in the same round – so you get a second chance instead of losing it entirely.
Time limit
The Daily Challenge gives you 5 minutes, A1–B1 and B2–C2 give you 10 minutes each. When time runs out, any remaining questions automatically count as skipped. Fun Mode has no time limit.
Reading your result
At the end you see your result in three groups: words you answered correctly, words you got wrong or skipped (with the correct answer shown), and – if time ran out – questions you never reached.
Registration (optional)
You can play right away without an account. With a free account (just an email code, no password) you additionally save your daily streak across devices and appear on the leaderboard under a nickname.
