NYT Connections style game in 195 languages

I’ve been building a small side project called *LingoPop* — a word-connection game inspired by puzzle games like NYT Connections, but for language lovers.

The twist: it works in *195+ languages*. You connect words that belong to the same category (slang, cooking actions, mental processes, etc.), and the categories adapt to the language you choose.

I actually built it for a personal reason too. I’m an *expat living in Berlin*, my native language is *Vietnamese*, and I wanted a more playful way to practice *German and Italian*. I also play the game in *English*, which sometimes turns out to be harder than expected

So I’m curious to ask this community:

*How many languages do you speak?* Now try to *prove it by playing LingoPop in those languages.*

I’d love to hear:

* Which language felt the hardest? * Which word groups surprised you? * Does the difficulty change depending on the language?

Always happy to get feedback from fellow builders and language nerds!

Nice job. I can’t give you feedback unfortunately as I don’t have an iPhone but can at least give some advice w/ regard to the landing page.

I would put the Terms and Privacy links at the bottom, not in the top navigation bar.

Rethink the image layout. Right now you’ve got the Lingopop picture in the hero ribbon, then immediately below it in a rounded rectangle, and then just below that again in a square. It feels a bit repetitive.

Next, I’d make all of your screenshots zoomable. Let users click on them to open a lightbox, because they’re pretty small and hard to read as they are.

Also I’d wager you’d probably get a lot more potential users if you opened this up as a simple web app.

P.S. If you like word games, I’ve got one for you. I don’t really think you could consider it a learning game, because it would be pretty hard unless you were already moderately fluent in English.
