Hieroglyph Challenge 4+

A very cool little Watch App which flashes Egyptian Hieroglyphs followed by their descriptions. There is also an English to Egyptian Dictionary feature.

Tap the screen or rotate (flick) your wrist to get the next glyph! Each glyph includes a description, the phonetic pronunciation, the meaning, and any determinatives (where they are available). The game has over 2,200 hieroglyphs to randomly cycle through.

The English to Egyptian Dictionary features a full set of 50,000 words and phrases. If you have a Series 7 Apple Watch or later, you can use the built-in keyboard to type the English words into dictionary. With older watches, you can use Siri dictation or Apple Scribble.

The Game settings allow you to change the delay between showing the glyph and its definitions. You can also set the app to automatically show glyphs at an interval you can set, or to manually move to the next glyph when you are ready to view it.

This is a great way to while away the hours on those long bus rides in Middle Egypt, on long plane rides, or even stuck in traffic (as a passenger!).
