The day in one screen
Dúshlán an Lae at the top, your streak and XP beside it, the games underneath.
Pioc an Focal
See the picture, choose the Irish for it.
Spell it yourself
Letter by letter, with the fadas where they belong.
Péirí
Match each word to its picture before the grid clears.
How the round went
Every word you met, right or wrong, and what the hints cost you.
Your own numbers
Streak, XP and best scores, kept whether you have an account or not.
See the picture, spell it in Irish, pick the right word, and keep your daily streak going. There are eight short games, a daily challenge that is the same for everyone, and 437 words with a picture for each one.
The daily challenge is Dúshlán an Lae: nine rounds, a bit of every game, the same words for every player that day so scores are worth comparing. It resets at midnight, and playing it once a day is what keeps a streak alive.
The eight games are Letters, Type it, Pick the word, Which picture, Phrases, Backwards, Pairs and Hidden letter. Fadas are built in, and if the letters are right but a síneadh fada is missing the app says Beagnach! and gives you the go again rather than marking you wrong. Irish has real regional differences, so the words follow the standard spelling taught in schools.
No ads, and free to play. You can play the whole thing as a guest without an account, in which case nothing leaves your phone. An account is needed only to appear on the leaderboard.
