Letters game: find the letter you hear

An alphabet game for ages 4 to 6. The game asks aloud, for example "Where is the letter B?", and your child taps the right letter among a few balloons. Each right answer moves the hero on in a friendly race.

What it teaches

  • Knowing letters by their names
  • The first 12 letters, A to L
  • Letters that look alike, such as E and F, side by side

How to play

  1. Hear a question

    The game reads the question aloud and shows it on a card. A tap on the card says it again.

  2. Tap an answer

    A few answers float up as balloons, and the hero leaps to the one tapped: a right one pops and moves the hero a step on.

  3. Win the race

    A friendly rival moves only on a miss, never on a clock. Reach the goal first in three races, each a little harder.

Good to know

  • Free, no sign-up, on a phone, a tablet or a computer.
  • Every question is read aloud, for children who cannot read yet too.
  • Answers are worked out by code, never guessed: a right answer always counts as right.
  • No clock and no game over: a miss shows the right answer, and a lost race starts again a little easier.

Make it your own

Ask in your own words for a hero from your child's drawing, another world, harder questions, or something new entirely.

Questions parents ask

In what order do the letters come?

The first race asks about the first six letters, the second about the next six, and the last mixes them all, with letters that look alike side by side. They come in a new order every game.

Are the games really free?

Yes. They are free to play, with no sign-up. Making your own version is free every day too, and a grown-up can buy more building power for more.

My child cannot read yet. Will this work?

Yes. Every question is read aloud, and a tap on the question card says it again. The answers are big numbers or letters.

Who checks that the answers are right?

The game's code works out every answer from the question itself, and a bot plays every game to the end before it is shown. A right answer always counts as right.

What happens on a wrong answer?

The answer tapped floats away, the right one lights up, and the friendly rival hops a step. A race the rival wins starts again with the rival further back.

How do I share it with other parents?

Every page has a WhatsApp share button. The link opens the game's page, and from there it plays in one tap.
