Today’s ring in Abece, with band A1 and a three-day streak. Every letter from A to Z sits on its own tile around the ring. A solved letter has a check next to it, a passed letter an open circle, a missed letter a small cross. The cursor is on K. The clue reads: You drink it hot in the morning. It is black or brown. The answer is “der Kaffee”.

How a ring works

  1. One clue per letter

    You go from A to Z. Each letter gives you one clue, and the word you are looking for starts with that letter.

  2. Pass and come back

    Not sure? Pass. The letter stays open and comes around again after Z.

  3. Beat the clock, or don’t

    The daily ring is timed. Practice rings are not, so you can take as long as you like.

After the ring

The ring is the drill. The review is the lesson.

After each ring you see every word you missed or passed, with its meaning, an example sentence and audio, and for German nouns the article and the plural. Missed words come back in later practice rings.

Made for learning a little every day

  • A new ring every day

    Everyone learning at your level gets the same ring that day.

  • From A1 to C1

    Clues match your level. Beginners get them explained in their own language, advanced learners in the language they are learning.

  • Nothing is taken away

    A missed word is not a penalty. It goes into your review and comes back later.

  • Learning stays free

    The daily ring, practice rings and the review are free and stay free.
