Questions about the challenge
How does the 1000 Spanish words challenge work?
You see one Spanish word and four English meanings. Pick the right one and the next word comes up. One wrong answer ends the game, and your score is how many words you got right in a row. The topics always come in the same order, so every run takes you a little further.
Which words are in the game?
829 everyday words in 104 topics, the same list as our free email series: food, the kitchen, animals, family, the body, clothes, school, work, travel, feelings and the most useful verbs, like dar, ir, saber, decir and pensar.
Is my score saved?
Your best score is saved in your own browser on this device. To show on the leaderboard you type a nickname after a game; we store only that nickname and the score. No sign-up, no email.
How do I learn the words I keep missing?
Play a few rounds: the word that ends your run is shown with its meaning, and the topics come back in the same order. To use the words in real conversation, book a free 15-minute intro call with a tutor, or try the Intermediate Spanish self-study course free for 30 days.
