A Spanish crossword puzzle from Linguno

Linguno has been my favorite language learning website for a while now.

For the longest time, I really only paid attention to the excellent verb practice exercises.

Recently, though, I ran out of other online games to play and tried one of the Linguno crosswords. I don't think I had realized that they offer lots of monolingual crosswords - with the clues in the language you're practicing - but I was immediately delighted. I am repeatedly amazed at how well those relatively simple phrases in the practice language reinforce and expand my understanding.

The latest delightful Wordle-inspired puzzle game is Redactle, "a daily browser game where the user tries to determine the subject of a random obfuscated Wikipedia article, chosen from Wikipedia's 10,000 Vital Articles (Level 4)."

I did pretty well on my first two attempts (game #10 and game #11). It takes me a while to solve them, though, so I'm not sure how often I'll take the time out of my day to play. Sure is fun, though.
