About the Game

Discover a word game designed to enrich your French vocabulary and sharpen your spelling skills through a variety of fun, challenging levels. In each puzzle, your goal is to find the target word: drag letters to form words, watch the color-coded clues, and progress step by step toward the correct answer. There’s no ticking clock—take as much time as you need to brainstorm, experiment, and learn new definitions thanks to the built-in dictionary.

Key Features:

  • Discover new words: Each word you find unlocks its definition, helping you explore subtle nuances of the French language.

  • Progress at your own pace: There’s no time limit. Solve each level whenever inspiration strikes.

  • Intuitive color-coded hints:

    • Red letters: not in the target word

    • Yellow letters: in the target word, but not in that position

    • Green letters: correct letter in the correct position

  • Evolving difficulty: Encounter increasingly challenging puzzles, with special bonus levels every ten stages.

  • Helpful companion: A friendly little owl will lend you a hand when you’re stuck.

  • Complete dictionary: Look up definitions for every word you form to expand your French vocabulary.

  • Online leaderboard: Compare your performance with other players and aim for the top spot.

  • Relaxing atmosphere: Experience a satisfying blend of thought and leisure, with zero stress.

  • Twitch integration: Interact with your community to guess the target word. They can help you—or hinder you! Will you rise to the challenge?

Make MOTAMO your go-to learning and entertainment companion—whether you’re a dedicated word-game enthusiast, a curious beginner, or simply eager to polish your French!

Note: MOTAMO is currently available only in French.
