How to play
- Each round shows a Spanish sentence with por or para missing, and its English meaning above.
- Tap por (cause, duration, exchange, “through/by”) or para (purpose, destination, recipient, deadline).
- The blank fills in, the sentence is read aloud, and you see the rule that applies — so a wrong guess still teaches you.
- Answer six per round and aim for a perfect score.
Questions
What's the difference between por and para?
Roughly: por looks backward at a cause or means (reason, duration, exchange, “through/by”), while para looks forward to a goal (purpose, destination, recipient, deadline). This game drills the distinction one real sentence at a time.

Will it help me stop guessing?
