Word games online

Five word games to play online for free, in English or in French. They use different parts of your vocabulary, from spelling patterns to the many meanings of one word.

Five ways to play with words

Five Letters is the classic hunt for a hidden word. Word Ladder changes one word into another a letter at a time. Sorted hides four groups in sixteen words. Letter Wheel is an anagram that keeps growing. Drillion rewards the answers nobody else would think of.

In English or in French

Set the room’s language in the lobby and the words follow. The French version has its own word lists rather than a translation of the English ones.

Play them against a friend

Word games are better when someone else is stuck on the same word. Create a room, send the code and compare your scores after each game.
