Woordwies is de eerste Nedersaksische app van de streektaalorganisaties van Groningen, Drenthe, De Stellingwerven, Overijssel en de Achterhoek. Als je de app opent, dan zie je het laatste twitternieuws in een Nedersaksische variant voorbij komen en je kunt een geweldig taalspel spelen. Je gaat steeds meer van het Gronings, Drents, Stellingwerfs, West-Overijssels, Twents en Achterhoeks leren. Kies eerst de streektaal-variant. Dus Grunnegs, Drèents, Stellingwarfs, West-Oaveriessels, Tweants of Achterhooks en speel het Woordwies-spel. Je krijgt een woord te zien en je moet de vertaling intoetsen. Het spel gaat op tijd. Wij helpen je door steeds een goede letter te geven, als je het fout invoert. Maar dan gaat het ook vast steeds beter en krijg je steeds meer punten. Uiteindelijk krijg je als beloning een mooi plaatje uit het Nedersaksisch gebied. Kop der veur! Veel succes!

Explosive Seconds is the must‑have charades game for every gathering. Choose between a fierce solo race or a heart‑pounding team showdown—each mode offers fast‑paced, word‑guessing fun that keeps everyone on their toes. In Free‑For‑All, you start with 60 seconds and form a random describer–guesser duo each turn. The quicker you guess, the more stars you earn. Rack up stars for speedy guesses (up to 3 per word) and bonus stars for leftover time (1 per 10 seconds). Be the first to hit 100 stars to claim victory! In Team Mode, each team begins with 60 seconds on the clock. One player describes while teammates race to guess. Every correct guess freezes your timer and passes the phone to the next team.
