How to play Language Tree
To play, you guess a language, and the game indicates where that language sits on the Language Tree relative to the target. Use this positional feedback to narrow down the correct answer. There is one new puzzle each day.
Tips & strategy
- Start with a major language family to get a broad reference point on the tree.
- Learn the basic layout of major language families, such as Indo-European, Sino-Tibetan, and Afro-Asiatic.
- Use the placement of each guess to tell whether you are in the same branch as the target.
- Don't rely only on geography—languages in different regions can still be closely related.
- Eliminate entire branches by guessing a language from a different part of the tree.
