About Word Balloons
Word Balloons is a friendly twist on the classic letter-guessing game, with no gloomy gallows in sight. A little explorer floats in a basket held up by a bunch of colourful balloons. Guess the hidden word one letter at a time: every correct letter appears in its slots, and every wrong one pops a balloon. Lose them all and the basket drops.
The game follows the site language, so you can play in English or in Arabic with a full Arabic keyboard, where letters like أ and إ count as ا. Words come from themes such as animals, countries, sport, space, jobs and things at home. Play a round of ten words with the category shown, an expert round without hints, or a three-minute sprint.
How to play
- Tap a letter (or type it) to guess.
- Correct letters fill every matching slot; wrong ones pop a balloon.
- Solve the word with balloons left for bonus points; streaks add more.
- Classic and expert rounds have ten words; sprint lasts three minutes.
