About this game

Everyday, find secret words before time runs out. To do so, propose as many answers as you would like: each word gets scored on a scale from -100% to 100% based on how close to the secret word it is. Find a secret word by figuring out what your best words have in common.

The similarity between two words is not about their spelling but about their context. The scores were computed based on thousands of texts for a total of billions of words from which we were able to tell which words tend to appear together often. That is why a word and its opposite may be "close" in Cemantik.

The secret words to guess are often quite simple and well known. They are singular, unless their plural is much more common.


** Features **

• There are several secret words to guess everyday, varying in difficulty, both in English and in French.

• The weekly game with "hidden scores" makes it even harder to find the secret word by hiding all scores and progress bars.

• Earn points by playing regularly and by finding secret words. You can then exchange them for clues.

• Explore the statistics to see how many players were able to find the different secret words and in how many attempts on average.

• Share your victory diploma with your friends to show them you were able to find a secret word before them or in fewer attempts.

• Unlock achievements and be ranked in leaderboards with Play Games.

• Team up with all the other players to find a secret word in community games! In this mode, you get to see which words the other players have tested already before you test a word yourself.

• Play real-time multiplayer with your friends and versus your rivals: the words you test are shared with your team, whereas your opponents' progress shows without revealing their words. This feature is for subscribers only.

• Challenge your friends to find your own secret words. As a subscriber, you can create private custom games for your multiplayer room.


Games end at midnight, French time.


Cemantik requires permanent access to the Internet to test your words.

Ratings and reviews

I love many word puzzles - and this has been the most challenging (at least at first!) It has a simple user experience, which is nice for a change; and, IF you simply remain PATIENT enough to guess different words.. ..you will begin to understand how to play Cemantik. Unfortunately, there is currently LITTLE info, how-to videos, or FAQs. But I am learning - five stars! (BTW, I clicked the top left gear icon, and found my current total points..thanks, developers!)

Pretty great. Not happy that the only way to get rid of ads is a subscription. Edit: thx for the response. I understand the value of the subscription and what it adds, I don't think the subscription is bad, my complaint was that it is the only way to get rid of the ads. It might benefit you to offer both, because for example, I personally would likely never get the sub, but I would pay once to get rid of ads and be fine without the extras from the sub.

Not too many ads (which is REALLY GOOD), but the associations given by the app don't make any sense at all and that's the main point of the entire game.... When the word is "ocean" and it tells me I'm closer with "sun" and "moon" than I am with "fish" and "wave" vs "waves" are two registered as two completely different things. Not intuitive and although could be good, isn't.
