Quiz climb

Spanish Ladder.

Medium

Climb the ladder one Spanish question at a time — each rung is worth more. Spend your 50:50, audio-hint and skip lifelines wisely, bank the safe checkpoints, and cash out before a wrong answer ends the climb.

How to play

  1. You're shown an English word and four Spanish options — tap the correct translation to climb one rung of the ladder.
  2. Each rung up the ladder is worth more points, and every few rungs is a ★ checkpoint: clear it and that score is locked in for good.
  3. You have three one-use lifelines — 50:50 removes two wrong options, the audio hint reads the Spanish word aloud, and skip swaps the question.
  4. A wrong answer ends the climb and drops you to your last checkpoint — so cash out to bank what you've climbed whenever the next rung feels too risky.

Questions

Is this Spanish quiz 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.

What happens when I get one wrong?

The climb ends and you bank your score from the last ★ checkpoint you cleared, not zero — checkpoints make your progress safe, which is why deciding when to cash out is the heart of the game.

How do the lifelines work?

Each of the three lifelines can be used once per climb: 50:50 removes two wrong answers, the audio hint plays the Spanish pronunciation, and skip replaces the current question with a new one.

Can I climb with one topic?

Yes. Use the theme picker to draw the words from a single category — animals, food, the home and more.
