Learn German vocabulary by solving Turkish-style arrowword puzzles. Clues are in Turkish, answers in German. You can flip the direction: clues in German, answers in Turkish. WHAT YOU GET • 365 daily mini puzzles — a different one each day, solvable in both directions • 144 large puzzles — 11×9 and 13×9 grids • Three levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced — words tagged by CEFR level (A1–C1) • Beginner packs hold the first words of daily life: family, food, city, time HOW TO PLAY The clue sits inside the box and the arrow points at the squares for the answer. A correctly spelled word locks in place, so you cannot overwrite what you have already solved. Ä, Ö, Ü and ß are on the keyboard. When you are stuck you can ask for the translation, or reveal the whole word. OFFLINE Every puzzle ships with the app. No internet connection is needed. NO ADS A monthly subscription removes the ads. Word data comes from WikDict (derived from Wiktionary, CC BY-SA) and was reviewed by hand. SUBSCRIPTION Almanca çengel without ads — monthly, with a reduced price for the first 3 months for new subscribers. The price and term are shown on the purchase screen.
