Guess the word!
Find the hidden word in a real Wikipedia article
Pick a theme ("ocean", "cinema", "philosophy"…) and the game opens a French Wikipedia article and hides a word it finds interesting, skipping a long list of overly common words. You have to find it from context, with the number of letters as your only hint. Typos are tolerated thanks to a Levenshtein distance, and you get three lives and a saved best score.
What shines
- Endless content: every round draws on a real Wikipedia article on the chosen theme
- Picking an "interesting" word: stop-word list, words from the title excluded, minimum length
- Typo-tolerant answers thanks to a Levenshtein distance
- Article cleanly re-laid out (Lora typeface), hidden word shown as squares with a letter-count hint
