Parley

Parley sets five English words a day, the same for every player, and gives you twelve languages to uncover them with: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Dutch, Turkish, Swedish, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Arabic. Each word shows its length in empty boxes and a topic label such as Color or Weather, and you tap a flag to reveal the word's translation in that language, with its pronunciation written out and spoken aloud.

The strategy is in the budget. Each language can be used only once across all five words, and at most three on any one word, so spending Spanish and Italian on an easy first word may leave you with only Japanese and Arabic for a hard last one. Wrong guesses reveal letters of the answer. Each word scores up to three points, one less for every language you open and one less again after more than two wrong guesses, for a top score of 15. At the end you can share your result and read the day's words with a short note on where each comes from.

The five words are picked each day from a bank of 250 everyday words on twelve topics, from food and family to emotions and clothing, with at least one easy and one hard word in every set. The puzzle changes at midnight on your device and has been numbered from 1 January 2026. Parley is made by the translation company Tomedes and runs free in the browser with no account and no ads. It suits language learners and anyone who likes spotting a word through its cousins in other languages.
