How to play
- You're shown an English word and four Chinese options — tap the correct translation before the timer bar empties.
- Every correct answer scores points (faster answers score more) and speeds the clock up a little for the next word.
- A wrong answer or letting the timer run out costs you a life — you start with three.
- There's no finish line: keep going until you're out of lives, then beat your high score.
Questions
Is this Chinese speed game free?
Yes — it plays in your browser with no sign-up. Sign in only if you want to save the words to your review deck and track your best score.
Why does it get faster?
Each correct answer trims a little time off the clock, so the further you go the sharper your recall has to be — that escalating pressure is what builds fast, automatic vocabulary.
Can I sprint through one topic?
Yes. Use the theme picker to draw the words from a single category — animals, food, the home and more.
