Aim and shoot
Spanish Next Word Archery.
Hear a Spanish sentence, then build it one word at a time: aim your bow and shoot the drifting balloon that carries the next word. A missed shot costs nothing; popping a wrong balloon costs a heart.

How to play
- Listen: a Spanish sentence plays, and its meaning is shown above the sentence. Tap the sentence at any time to hear it again.
- Four balloons drift slowly across the sky, each carrying a Spanish word. The sentence below the meaning shows the words you have built, a gap for the next one, and the rest still to come.
- Press anywhere on the board and drag to aim — a dotted line shows where the arrow will fly — then let go to shoot. On a keyboard, use the left and right arrow keys and the space bar.
- Pop the balloon with the next word of the sentence. A wrong balloon costs a heart and shows you the right word; the gap stays, so you can still fill it.
- An arrow that flies off the board costs nothing — shoot again. Build both sentences before your five hearts run out.
