A word appears in a language you probably don't know. Your job: guess which language it is. Lobster is Lobster is a free browser game with nearly 100 languages, from Spanish and French to Amharic, Xhosa and Tok Pisin. No sign-up, no app to install.
Pick a word, like "dog" or "book", and see it written in different languages. Type the name of the language you think it is. Every correct answer counts, and at the end you see how much of the world's population would understand you saying that word.
Easy uses only the Roman alphabet and common languages. Medium mixes in other scripts. Hard brings the full pool, including rare languages. Insane makes you name every language in a long run against the clock.
The game is available in English and Portuguese (Português). Share your result with friends and see who recognises more languages.
