A daily game of guessing languages by their family ties

browser game

Language Tree is a daily web-based guessing game where the goal is to identify a hidden language. Instead of blind guessing, players explore how languages are related to one another through a dynamic tree visualization of language families, using those relationships as clues to narrow down the answer.

Key Features

Daily language-guessing challenge

A new hidden language to guess each day, with a limited pool of 20 guesses per puzzle.

Language family tree visualization

A dynamic tree shows how languages are related, letting players use genealogical relationships between languages as structural clues to find the hidden one.

How It Works

1
Start the daily puzzle
Each day presents one hidden language to identify.
2
Make guesses and explore the tree
You have 20 guesses. As you guess, a dynamic tree visualization of language family relationships helps you work out which branch the hidden language belongs to.
3
Use a hint if needed
If you're stuck, a Hint option provides help before you use up your remaining guesses.
4
Track results
After playing, check the Stats section to follow your performance over time.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Novel twist on the daily guessing-game format by using real language-family relationships as the deduction mechanic
Limited guess count (20) plus a hint system creates a balanced but challenging puzzle
Educational value — players implicitly learn about language genealogy while playing
Includes stats so players can track performance over time
Web-based with no installation required

Cons

Niche appeal — appeals most to players already interested in languages or linguistics
Only one puzzle per day as a daily game, limiting play sessions
Support and development appear to run on donations (a 'Buy me a coffee' link), suggesting a small indie project rather than a funded product
No mobile or desktop apps mentioned — only the web app

Who It's For

Best for

Language enthusiasts and polyglots who enjoy daily puzzle games

Students and hobbyists who want a playful way to explore language family relationships

Not ideal for

Learning how world languages are related through language family trees
Practicing and testing knowledge of linguistics and language genealogy
