One word, fifteen seconds.
Every round is a new English word. This is all there is to it.
Read the meaning
The card shows what the word means, its part of speech and its level, from A1 to B2.
Type the word
Type the whole word and press Enter. Each guess comes back in colours: green is the right spot, yellow is in the word, grey is not in it.
Beat the letters
A letter opens every few seconds. Every letter still hidden when you get it is a point.
Real English words, the ones you’ll use.
Every word comes from the Oxford 3000™ — the core words of English, from beginner (A1) to upper intermediate (B2).
- After each round: the word, how it sounds and an example sentence.
- A mix of levels, and a new set of words every visit.
- Your score and streak stay on this device — no sign-up.
Questions, answered.
Is Word Live free?
Yes. You play in your browser, with no account and no card. Your score and streak are kept on this device.
Which words come up?
Words from the Oxford 3000™, the core words of English, at levels A1 to B2. Every visit brings a new set.
How are points counted?
One point for every letter still hidden when you get the word, so guessing early pays. A word you skip or run out of time on scores nothing and resets your streak.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. On a phone the chat sits under the game, and the guess box stays at the bottom of the screen.
