Why we built Passage
Most vocabulary games ask you to recognise words. Passage asks you to find them, hear them, and then recall them — three steps that together are much more effective for retention than recognition alone.
How it works
Choose a language, a category, and a reading level. Find every word in the grid. When you find one, you hear it pronounced and see a translated definition. After every few puzzles, a matching round tests whether the words have actually stuck.
10 languages, 39 categories
Passage currently supports Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Swedish — with English as the base. Categories range from Common Words and Animals to Philosophy, Mythology, and Gaming.
Free, forever
Passage is free to play with no account required. It runs entirely in your browser — no app to install, no data collected beyond anonymous analytics.
