Tongue Tied

Hello, bonjour, namaste — one greeting at a time, where in the world are you?

How to play

Each round plays a greeting in a real language and asks you to name the country where it's spoken. Even if you miss the exact country, correctly identifying the language earns you partial credit.

• Listen to or read the greeting for each round
• Name the country it belongs to for full credit
• Get the language right for a consolation score if the country slips
• Work through a set of greetings for a final total

Game modes

• Easy, Medium or Hard difficulty for more obscure tongues
• Daily run or Practice for endless rounds

Controls

• Desktop: click to choose your answer for each greeting

Tips & strategy
