How to play
- Read the English word at the top — that is the clue.
- Four balloons drift slowly across the sky, each carrying a Spanish word. Your bow waits at the bottom of the screen.
- 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 that translates the clue to score. A wrong balloon costs a heart, shows you the right word and reads it out; the clue stays, so you can still finish it.
- An arrow that flies off the board costs nothing — shoot again. Clear all six clues before your five hearts run out, and you hear each Spanish word spoken.

Questions
Is this Spanish archery game free?
Yes — Word Archery 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 my arrow misses?
Nothing is lost: the arrow flies off the board and you can shoot again straight away. Only popping a wrong balloon costs a heart.
What happens if I pop the wrong balloon?
You lose a heart and your streak resets. The right word is shown and read out 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.
