⚔️ ZETTEL: SWORD WORDS — a word game for historical fencing (HEMA) enthusiasts
A new word to guess every day—but instead of random terms, you guess actual terminology from the fencing treatises of masters like Liechtenauer and Meyer. Once you guess it, you’ll learn the precise meaning of the technique, guard, or principle, straight from historical sources.
🗡️ WORD OF THE DAY
One shared word per day for all players. 6 attempts, a color-coded grid, and a keyboard that shows revealed letters—exactly the way you like it in word games. Earn points for quick guesses and build a daily streak with an increasing score multiplier.
🎲 CASUAL PLAY
Want to play more than once a day? Casual Play mode gives you unlimited random words—pure fun and extra experience points.
⚔️ PVP — PLAY AGAINST OTHERS
Challenge a random opponent or invite a friend using a code. You both get the same set of words; whoever guesses the most correctly wins. Live results, no waiting.
🏆 LEADERBOARD
Test yourself against players from around the world on the weekly, monthly, and all-time leaderboards.
📈 LEVELS AND AVATARS
Gain experience, level up, and unlock new avatars. You can also set your own photo or purchase exclusive premium avatars.
💡 HINTS
Stuck? Use a hint: "Precise Strike" reveals one correct letter, "Double" eliminates two incorrect ones, and "Zettel" undoes your last attempt. 🌍 MULTILINGUAL
Technique descriptions are available in over a dozen European languages—the game automatically adapts to your phone's language settings.
🎓 LEARN AS YOU PLAY
It’s not just a word game—it’s an interactive dictionary of fencing terminology. Discover the names of guards, cuts, combat techniques, and rules straight from historical treatises, all in accessible, bite-sized daily portions.
