The QuackPath Weekly Challenge is a free daily word game you can play right here in your browser, with no account. Most weeks bring a new puzzle every day, and the game itself changes every Sunday. In Hatch you guess the word of the day: after each guess, the tiles show which letters are in the right spot and which are in the word but somewhere else. In Flock you sort 16 words into four groups, in Echo you hear a sentence and rebuild it, and in Dash you fill in the gaps against the clock. Pick one of 15 languages: your own or the one you are learning. Scoreboards, friends and streaks live in the QuackPath app.
How to play
Hatch: guess the hidden word
Type a word that fills every tile and send it. After each guess, a purple tile with a dot means the letter is in the right spot, an orange ring means it is in the word but in another spot, and a grey tile means it is not in the word. Every guess must be a real word, and after 3 tries a hint can show the meaning for a few points. In the English puzzle, words are currently 4 to 6 letters long and you get 6 tries.
Flock: sort 16 words into 4 groups
Find four groups of four among 16 words. Tap four words that belong together, then send them. Each group has its own colour, from easy to tricky, and “One away” means three of your four belong together. You can make 4 mistakes. Hold a word to hear it, and every group you find is labelled in your language.
Echo: listen and rebuild the sentence
Tap the speaker to hear a sentence; the first listen is free. Then tap the words in the order you heard them, and tap a placed word to take it back. You have 3 checks for each sentence. A replay, a slow replay and each word in the wrong place cost a few points, so listen closely before you tap.
Dash: fill the gaps against the clock
Tap the word that fits the gap, and the next sentence comes at once. The race lasts 90 seconds and keeps running even if you leave the page, and a wrong answer costs 2 seconds. Right answers in a row build a combo, and your best combo adds points. Finish with enough right answers to solve the puzzle.
Learning a language?
Keep the menus in English and play the puzzle in the language you are learning. The words come from QuackPath’s course vocabulary. In Hatch, the hint shows the word’s meaning in English, and in Flock every group you find is labelled in English.
