How to play
- A sentence card with a blank falls down the board, with its English translation underneath.
- Decide whether the blank is ser or estar, and send the card to the SER bin on the left or the ESTAR bin on the right before it lands.
- Use the left and right arrow keys (or A and D), tap a bin or the left or right half of the board, or swipe left or right.
- Right bin: the blank fills in and you score. Wrong bin, or a card that lands: you lose a heart, and the right verb and the rule are shown.
- Sort all ten cards before your five hearts run out. Each finished sentence is read out loud.

What happens when I pick the wrong bin?
You lose a heart and your streak resets. The card fills in with the right verb and a one-line rule, such as estar for feelings and moods, and then the next card falls.
How long do I have for each card?
A card takes about nine seconds to fall at the start, and only a little less as the round goes on, never under six seconds. After each answer the game pauses briefly so you can read the rule.
Which sentences does it use?
Short everyday sentences in the present tense with soy, eres, es, somos, son and estoy, estás, está, estamos, están, covering origin, jobs, descriptions, location, feelings and health.
Can I play without a touch screen?
Yes. Press the left arrow or A for SER and the right arrow or D for ESTAR, or click a bin with the mouse.
