A word from somewhere in the world appears in the frame below, with its rough pronunciation shown underneath in smaller type.

Type your guess for what language the word belongs to. Suggestions appear as you type — pick one or keep typing.

Stuck? Tap "Reveal meaning" under the word for a hint — it shows the English translation without ending your round.

You get 5 tries per word. Guess right on your:

1st try = 50 pts  ·  2nd = 40 pts  ·  3rd = 30 pts  ·  4th = 20 pts  ·  5th = 10 pts

Miss all 5 and the word is revealed with no points. Your Lifetime Score keeps adding up across every round you play on this device.

Latin alphabet only — every word in OSM is written in the Latin (Roman) alphabet, the same one English uses. No Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese characters, etc. — keeps typing and reading fair for every round.
