I found this to be quite challenging and a game that makes a person think. Sometimes I was thinking of a different word and was wrong, such as apartment. A few times I couldn't get the word that was wanted. Unfortunately, the game can't reveal the correct answer. Great game. I have made language games for German and French and it can be difficult getting all the correct umlauts and phonetic marks and word meanings.

Interesting game!
Probably very confusing if you don't know any German words at all though.

The idea is nice, but it does not work when you are German ;) For most words I had at least 3 or 4 equally probable translations in mind and most of the time, clicked on the wrong dots at first. One of the hardest to find out was "bike" which is usually translated with Fahrrad or Motorrad, but seldom with Rad.
