About this game

This is an English-language guessing game where you uncovers phrases by guessing which letters and words are in the phrase. You can learn the meanings of various famous proverbs, idioms and phrases in English, while playing a game.

The game-play is similar to the classic Hangman game, but with proverbs, idioms, wise-sayings and famous quotes. You're presented with a fill-in-the-blank letters, along with alphabet letters which you can choose to fill in the grid, to complete the mystery phrase.

Tap on a letter and if the letter is in the phrase, it will be placed in the appropriate position (or positions if the letter appear in multiple places). If the letter isn't in the phrase, then you lost a guess. You have a limited number of guesses, so try to complete the phrase without running out of guesses.

Ratings and reviews

I love this game. It's a lot like Wheel of fortune. Its simple does have a lot of extra things like spinning etc.

I find this very entertaining but it has some mistakes in the answers. Please correct and I'd be willing to give it 5 stars.

Genuinely a good game. A little on the easy side. Might be better if you had to "buy" vowels with some kind of points system, instead of being able to use them whenever you want.
