Look at an illustration and choose the Spanish word from two or four answers. Use gradual clues when you need help. A useful first step from recognising a picture to recalling its word.
- Open Match Up

Match Up
Pair pictures with Spanish words by tapping them; no dragging is needed. Work through a small board at a time and try again when a pair does not match.
- Open Odd One Out
Game 05
Odd One Out
Find the word that belongs to a different group, then read why. This game uses Starter animal, colour and number words; its topic choices reflect that smaller word bank.
- Open Listen & Find
Game 06
Listen & Find
Listen to a Spanish word, then choose its picture. Replay normally or slowly as often as you need. Pronunciation uses browser voices, so availability and quality depend on your device.
- Open Word Rescue

Word Rescue
Complete the missing letters of a Spanish word using a letter bank. Meaning, first-letter and audio clues help when you get stuck. Choose this to practise spelling after meeting a word.
- Open Sentence Builder
Game 08
Sentence Builder
Put word tiles in order to build a Spanish model sentence. Edit your choices, undo a step or use a next-word clue. This game uses sentence cards rather than isolated vocabulary.
Before you play
Which Spanish game should I try first?
Start with Cards to meet the words, then Picture Quiz or Match Up to recognise them. Choose Listen & Find for listening, Word Rescue for spelling or Sentence Builder for model sentences. Use a short round and return to words you found difficult.
Can I practise Spanish by topic?
Yes. The shared setup lets you choose topics such as greetings, numbers, food, animals and travel. Available cards depend on the game, challenge and source. Odd One Out has a smaller classified word bank; an unavailable combination is explained before you start.
Do I need an account, and is Vane free?
Public lessons are free to read without an account. Games offer limited free guest plays, then require Google sign-in to continue. Interactive Study requires sign-in and saves your place. Opening a game does not use a play; starting a new round does. A saved round may resume when you return.
Can Spanish speakers learn English here too?
Yes. Vane supports Spanish speakers learning English as well as English speakers learning Spanish. Each learning direction has its own words, explanations and pronunciation language. The app also lets you choose your menu language independently.
Are the games a complete Spanish course?
Games practise specific skills and vocabulary; game points are not a proficiency assessment. Combine them with Vane’s guided lessons, grammar and conversations. A1–C1 labels organize Study content and do not award a language certification.
