Word games stretch your vocabulary and spelling, and they are a relaxing way to keep your brain busy. Word Guess gives everyone the same hidden five-letter word each day, with six tries to find it. Word Search hides a list of words in a grid of letters, Crossword and Cryptogram test your general knowledge and code-cracking, and Hangman is the classic letter-by-letter guessing game. Anagram Challenge and Word Grid race the clock, Word Ladder asks you to change one letter at a time, and the Typing Speed Test measures your words per minute. Learners of Chinese can try Idiom Guess and Idiom Chain, both built around four-character chengyu.
