Discover the hidden stories behind everyday sayings with Phrasigins, the ultimate trivia app for lovers of language, history, and fun. This game challenges players to surmise the origins of famous expressions and idioms used across the world for more than two millennia. With three difficulty levels and a competitive leaderboard, Phrasigins (short for phrase origins) makes learning feel like play. Compete with friends to see who knows their "raining cats and dogs" from their "everything but the kitchen sink." Whether you're a casual gamer or word enthusiast, Phrasigins offers a unique mix of education and entertainment, turning fascinating etymologies into an addictive guessing game you won't want to put down.
Choose your difficulty level, and then enjoy as many 10-question games as you please.

With each answer — whether it's correct or incorrect — you'll unveil a new nugget of knowledge. And after each game, you'll see your score immediately, be able to add that to the leaderboard, share it socially, and compare your results to those of others around the world.
