Étymos : Jeu de Mots Français

What if each game truly enriched your vocabulary?

Étymos is a French word and letter game where you form words by sliding your finger across a wheel. A simple and clever puzzle game—with one difference: here, words have a memory. Some reveal their etymology, the secret story that explains why they exist.

🧩 A SIMPLE AND ADDICTIVE WORD GAME
Slide your finger from one letter to another to compose a word, then release. Each grid hides about ten words to find—and many bonus words hidden within the same letters, like in word searches or anagrams. The longer the word, the more points it's worth.

🏛️ WORDS THAT TELL THEIR STORY
As you play, you'll discover hidden gems: "sagace" comes from the Latin sagax, meaning "having a keen sense of smell," originally used to describe hunting dogs. "Courage" comes from the heart. "Orange" lost its "n" in favor of the article. Each treasure joins your personal Lexicon, a collection to complete and a real boost to your vocabulary.

🗓️ A DAILY PUZZLE FOR EVERYONE
Every day, a new, identical puzzle for all players. Come back daily to maintain your streak and climb the levels—or launch endless practice puzzles.
