Show HN: LangWhich – a 30‑second daily challenge to recognize languages

https://langwhich.app
2•jdmelin•3h ago
Hi HN - I built LangWhich (https://langwhich.app), a quick browser game where you try to visually recognize the world’s most spoken languages—just from the written form of a single word or phrase.

It’s a 5‑round daily challenge shared by all players: - 30 seconds total to finish all 5 rounds - Each round shows a different language - Choose the correct one from 5 multiple‑choice options - Scoring: 15 points per correct answer + up to 25 bonus for speed (max 100)

It currently rotates among the 20 most spoken languages, mixing different scripts (Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Devanagari, Kana) and closely related orthographies (e.g. Dutch vs German, French vs Portuguese).

Thanks for checking it out! I’d appreciate any feedback or questions.
