Lives game

Spanish Heart Run.

Easy

Three hearts, twelve words. Translate, translate back and listen — every miss costs a heart, and a streak of five wins one back. Words you miss come round again. Can you reach the end?

How to play

You start a run with three hearts and a progress bar. Each question is one of three kinds: pick the Spanish for an English word, pick the English for a Spanish word, or listen to a spoken Spanish word and tap what you heard.
Tap an answer. A right answer turns green and the Spanish word is read aloud; a wrong answer shakes, costs you a heart and shows the correct translation.
Get five in a row to win a heart back, up to a maximum of three. Words you miss are put back into the queue so you meet them again before the run ends.
Answer twelve words to finish the run — or lose all three hearts and start again. Finish with all three hearts for a perfect run.
