About the Game

Quick facts on the English language:
  • +600,000 words: English dictionary.
  • 30,000 words: the average vocabulary of an adult educated in English.
  • 2800 words: cover 90% of texts and conversations for an ESL student.
  • 721 words: enough to cover 90% of conversations. Do you know them?
Discover the most used words in English in Mini Words, a unique mix of puzzle, word search and hangman, in a minimalist and relaxing environment, no distractions.
Unscramble them using all letters on the board, without repeating or crossing paths.
  • Simple to start: boards are small and words are easily recognized. But it won’t be easy to obtain all master achievements (in “no tips” mode!).
  • Those learning English can practice vocabulary. Have all those classes been worth it?
  • But those mastering the language have also the challenge to solve the puzzles. More advanced levels will test the skills of attention and logic problems solving.
  • 300+ levels and 700+ words.
  • UPDATE: 200 extra levels added.
