VocabuzzEnglish vocabulary game for beginners
Learn English words with pictures
Every block hides a word. Guess it from its picture, spell it, and lift the block to reveal a hidden scene. No translation, no grammar: one picture, one word at a time.
How it works
Two puzzles in every level
First you find the words from their pictures. Then the words you found become clues to the hidden scene.
Step 1 · Pick
Tap a block
Each wooden block hides an English word, shown as a drawing.
Step 2 · Spell
Find the word
Spell it with the letter tiles. You learn how it is written, not just what it means.
Step 3 · Reveal
Uncover the scene
Every word you find lifts its block and reveals a piece of the picture.
Step 4 · Buzz
Guess the mystery
Hit the buzzer and name the mystery word the whole scene is showing.
Step 5 · Win
See the whole picture
Name it and the full scene appears. Collect your coins and play on: over 100 levels.
Topics
Words from every corner of life
Animals, food, the sea, space, castles and pirates: every level is a scene full of things to name in English.
No translation
See it, then say it in English
Every word comes with a picture, so you connect the English word directly to what it means. Vocabuzz works the same for a Spanish, Arabic, Chinese or French speaker: no dictionary, no list to translate.
You spell every answer yourself, letter by letter. Miss a word and the right answer appears straight away, so you always see the correct spelling.
