Notice anything?
One word from another language every day. In four rounds you guess where it comes from, when you'd use it and what it means.
Place your dot on the radar. Sure? Tap an answer. Torn between two? Place your dot between them — that pays better than a wild guess.
Each round counts up to 125 points, a whole word up to 1000. The colour tells you how close you were: hit right direction lukewarm miss way off.
Peek at others shows where other players put their dot. It costs half that round's points.
Listening to the pronunciation costs 30 points during play; after the reveal it's free.
After four rounds you can stake your score: type what the foreign word means, in one English word.
You can buy back the four rounds' answers one at a time: the first is free, then 25, 50 and 75 points — charged before the multiplier, even if you keep your score.
Raak (een van de goede vertalingen, een typfoutje mag): score ×2.
Dichtbij of mis: hoe dichter je woord bij de betekenis zit, hoe hoger de vermenigvuldiger — ergens tussen ×0,7 en ×1,8. Raak blijft ×2.
Rather not? Keep your score.
Play every day and your streak grows. After the reveal you can share your card; it doesn't give the word away.
With the game installed on your phone, the word of the day is one tap away and you can turn on reminders (gear → Reminder).
iPhone: in Safari tap Share (the square with the arrow), then Add to Home Screen.
Android: tap the three dots, then Install app or Add to home screen.
Comparle.app first looks at the language you picked yourself (gear → Dutch edition → Switch). If you haven't picked one, it follows your browser's language, and failing that the country you're in. Switch language and the choice is remembered: from then on you land straight in that edition.
Comparle comes from compare and the French parler: to compare and to speak. Say it: com-PAR-le. Here you put English next to a word another language already had.
