What you'll practise
Word Forge is a free Countdown-style Afrikaans word game. You get a clue and a pile of letters — the ones you need plus decoys mixed in — and a clock. Ignoring the wrong letters while assembling the right ones is a sharper test of spelling than a clean anagram would be.
How to play
- Read the clue and scan the letters.
- Pick the right letters in order, ignoring decoys.
- Forge the word before the clock runs out.
ControlsTap or click. Works with a mouse, a trackpad or a touchscreen.
