A set of live English games for the classroom. You run the game on a projector or smart board, students play on their phones, and everyone sees the same round at the same time.

Open the sign-in page and choose “Register as a teacher”. Enter your full name, your phone number, a username and a password, and the account works at once. Setting up a whole school? Write to [email protected].

A computer connected to a projector or smart board, an internet connection, and phones for the students (one each, or one per pair). There’s nothing to install.

Yes. Each phone joins as one player, so a pair or a team can share a phone and use a team name as the nickname.

Yes. Every game is saved under Results: the players, the scores, every round and how long it took to solve.

Save them on the setup page under a name (up to 20 per game) and apply them with one tap next time.

No. Scan the QR code on the board, or open wordlyy.com/join and type the 6-digit code. Pick a nickname and an avatar and you’re in.

No. The game remembers you on that phone. Open the same link again and you’re back in, score and all.

Only when a teacher is running a game. Every game has its own code, and the code stops working when the game ends.

Only what the game needs: the nickname, the avatar, the answers and the scores. No real names, emails or phone numbers. We recommend students use a nickname instead of their full name.

Never on the screens students play on. Some public pages, like the game guides, may show ads to help cover the cost of running the site.

Yes. The teacher can remove any player from the game and lock the room so nobody new can join.

Any recent phone, tablet or computer with a web browser: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Samsung Internet. Students don’t install anything.

No. The games are live, so the teacher’s computer and the phones need an internet connection, Wi-Fi or mobile data.
