These links are NOT up yet. It’s one of my future goals I should really get going immediately – especially for German! Also, I have to change the coding of blog to support utf-8, so you will probably see ???’s below where it should be Russian or Japanese. Sorry!
Wörter: Perhaps this will trigger UTF-8? Ha! Not happening here! Russian and Japanese are STILL question marks! No, it is NOT my OS/FF. It is utf-8 by default, or set to accomodate many languages.

We hope to have games that allow you to have clues in one language with the answer in your target language.
English, German, Russian, Japanese, Portuguese, Dutch, French, Italian, and Spanish will eventually be supported.
Games I will have:
- Evaporating Book (Hangman type game)
- Scrambled Words
- Crosswords (these will be slow in coming as they are time consuming to make.)
- Fill-In-The-Crosswords (Fill-In type game; time consuming to make.)
- Cryptology (time consuming to make.)
- Guess The Phrase
- Word Finds (Children’s version will also be made.)
- Ad-libs (Madd libb type game that will be made where stories I can use freely are found.)
- Memory ( using any 2 target languages you want that we support.)
- Classic Memory (using images, words or images and words in 1 target language)
- Sudoku (Using images in many different themes: Fleurons, Alchemy, Sindarin, Ruins, Alphabet letters, and much more with an easy A-Z navigation using Frames.)
- Sokoban (Some themes will be made, including LOTR).
- Mahjong (Some themes will be made, including LOTR).
- Jigsaw Puzzles (If I can figure out how to upgrade code).
- More word puzzler games will be added after full support is added for all 9 target languages.
Target Dates for Game production:
- ASAP: As I find word lists for Scrabble in various languages, they will be made into Wordfind, Evaporating book, and Scrambled words games. As I find “Quotes” in various languages, “Guess the Phrase” games will be made. Longer quotes or jokes I might be able to make into Ad-libs.
