Tide of Tongues

Match each picture to its word in the new language — fast, before the rising tide drowns the board.

How to play

A themed word-set drives each round. One picture appears at a time alongside a set of word options; pick the word that names it. A correct match drains the tide a little, while a wrong one makes the water surge. If the tide reaches the top, the round is over — so accuracy keeps you afloat.

• Read the picture prompt
• Tap the matching Spanish word
• Correct picks lower the water; mistakes raise it
• Keep the board above water to keep playing

Controls

• Desktop: click the word buttons
• Phone & tablet: tap the words — the whole game is touch-friendly

Game modes

• Daily: the same word run for everyone each day
• Practice: a fresh themed set every run

Tips & strategy

• Lock in the words you know instantly to bank tide-drain time
• Sound out unfamiliar words — cognates often give the meaning away
• Don't panic-tap when the water is high; one wrong guess surges it further
