How you play

Four ways to drill Spanish

Three modes: Practice (pick your levels, parts of speech and topics), Arcade (a map of levels with stars and boss fights) and Marathon (one endless run for a high score). Each round uses one of these games:

Read

See the Spanish word, pick the English meaning from four answers. The fastest way to build recognition.

Recall

See the English, pick the Spanish. Harder, and it is what makes a word yours when you speak.

Match

Five Spanish words, five English ones. Tap the pairs. Every match slides a new pair onto the board.

Gender

el or la? Sort Spanish nouns by their article. 3,680 nouns, including 1,377 tricky ones like el día and la mano.

A Recall round: pick the Spanish for “coffee”.
A Recall round: pick the Spanish for “coffee”.

In Practice and Arcade rounds:

  • +1 second for every right answer, 2 seconds off for a miss.
  • 10 in a row adds 5 seconds. 20 in a row is a Super streak.
  • Miss a word 3 times and it drags you into Purgatory.
19 topics, 20 bosses

A boss for every topic

In Arcade Mode every level ends in a boss fight: three hearts, a 7 second timer on every word and a Rage twist for the last 10 words. Word Golem guards the Core levels, the Grab-Bag Goblin guards the mixed levels, and every topic has its own boss.

Built to make words stick

Missed words come back

A word you miss returns within three questions and leads your next round. Spaced review, without the flashcard chore.

Recall, not rereading

Every answer is a quick test of your memory. Retrieval practice like this beats rereading lists.

Your trouble words

WRDLRNR keeps every word you have played, worst first, and lets you drill just the ones you keep missing.

Questions

Is the Spanish vocabulary game free?

Yes. WRDLRNR is free to play in any web browser on a phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to download and no account needed. Signing in with Google is optional and only syncs your progress between devices.

What level of Spanish does WRDLRNR cover?

All six CEFR levels: A1 (433 words), A2 (664 words), B1 (1,135 words), B2 (904 words), C1 (2,406 words) and C2 (1,353 words). That is 6,895 words in total. In Practice Mode you pick the levels you want; in Arcade Mode you climb from A1 up.

Does it help with el and la?

Yes. The Gender game is all about Spanish noun gender. You sort nouns into el or la against the clock, including 1,377 tricky ones like el día and la mano that do not end the way you would guess. Every noun in the other games also shows its article.

Is it Latin American or Spain Spanish?

The words are standard Spanish that works everywhere. Natural voices read every word out loud, and you can choose a Latin American or a Spain accent.

Does WRDLRNR teach Spanish grammar?

No. WRDLRNR is a vocabulary game, not a full course. It trains you to recognize and recall words fast. It works best next to a class, a textbook or a course app that teaches grammar.

Can I use it to review for a Spanish test?

Yes. Pick the level and topics from your course in Practice Mode, then drill your trouble words. Missed words come back sooner, and a word you miss three times goes to Purgatory until you get it right five times in a row.
