How to play
- Read the English word at the top — that is the clue.
- Your frog starts on the bottom bank. Between it and the words, lily pads and logs drift across the river, each row in the opposite direction.
- Hop one cell at a time with the arrow keys or WASD, by tapping a cell next to the frog, or by swiping. Once you land on a pad the frog rides along with it.
- The top row of the river carries four pads, each with a Spanish word. Hop onto the one that translates the clue to score; a wrong word costs a heart and shows you the right one.
- Falling in the water, or riding a pad off the edge, just puts the frog back on the bank. Clear all six clues before your five hearts run out — you hear each Spanish word spoken.

Questions
Is this Spanish frog game free?
Yes — River Hop plays in your browser, on a phone or a computer, with no sign-up. Sign in only to save the words you meet to your review deck.
What happens if the frog falls in the water?
Nothing is lost: the frog goes back to the start bank after a short splash. Only landing on a wrong word costs a heart.
What happens if I land on the wrong word?
You lose a heart and your streak resets. The right word is shown and read out, the frog goes back to the start and the same clue stays, so you can still finish it — but it no longer counts as a clean clue.
Can I practise one topic?
Yes. Use the theme picker to draw the words from a single category — animals, food, the home and more.
