Bwato, the canoe

Guess the word letter by letter before the canoe sinks. The keyboard is Lingala’s own: ɛ and ɔ have their place, and the consonant pairs (mb, nd, ng…) are keys in their own right.

All games

Eight mistakes and the canoe sinks (we refloat it for the next word, no harm done). Tones are forgiven: o also finds ó. But ɛ and ɔ are real letters — knowing them is on you.

Did a word slip away?

Every word in the game comes from the dictionary. Go over them, listen, then come back and beat your score.
