How does a round work?

A familiar proverb is shown with one word replaced by a blank. You pick the missing word from three to six options; the wrong options are real words taken from the other sayings in the pool, so the choice is not trivial.

Are the proverbs in my language?

Yes · each locale uses its own well-known sayings, not a literal translation of an English list. The Swedish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and other locale pools each draw from that language's actual proverb canon. For a few locales the wording is still being refined by native speakers.

Why not translate the English sayings?

Because most proverbs don't translate. "The early bird gets the worm" word-for-word in French ("l'oiseau matinal attrape le ver") is grammatical but nobody says it · the French equivalent is "l'avenir appartient à ceux qui se lèvent tôt". Each locale plays the sayings actual speakers grew up hearing.

How many proverbs are there?

The pool starts small with the most universal sayings (the dozen-or-so that have direct equivalents across most languages) and is designed to grow with locale-specific additions. A "what does this saying mean?" explainer mode and country / category filters are on the roadmap.

Does it work offline?

Yes. PlayMemorize is a Progressive Web App. Install once and Proverbs works without an internet connection.
