5 Language Games - Can you guess the language? - Can you find the False Friends?
How well do you really know language?
Lingua Nibble is a daily micro-learning app for anyone fascinated by words, etymology, and the quirky way languages collide. Five hand-crafted mini-games, fresh questions every day, playable in minutes.
ETYMOLOGY
Every word has a story. Trace common English words back to their roots — Arabic, Latin, Norse, Greek, Sanskrit, and beyond. Did you know "algebra" comes from Arabic? What about "ketchup"? Test yourself on 130+ carefully researched questions.
FALSE FRIENDS
"Gift" means poison in German. "Embarrassed" in Spanish means pregnant. False friends are words that look the same across languages but mean something completely different — and they'll catch you out every time. Learn 130+ traps before you fall into them.
LANGUAGE GUESSER
A word appears. Which language is it from? From Swahili to Icelandic, Tagalog to Welsh, this game will surprise you with how many languages you already half-recognise. 130+ questions with transliterations for non-Latin scripts.
LANGUAGE DRIFT (unique to Lingua Nibble)
Guide a fictional proto-language through 7 historical events — floods, invasions, trade routes, religious upheaval. At each event, choose how your language adapts: words shift, sounds change, meanings evolve. See what survives 3,000 years of history. 12 unique civilisation scenarios.
LANGUAGE MATCHER
10 words, 10 languages — can you match them?
DESIGNED FOR DAILY PLAY
Each game draws from a different question set every day. Miss a day? You can go back and play any previous date. Questions are seeded by date so everyone plays the same set — compare with friends.
