Race the Clock: RushWords Speed Game

Be honest: when was the last time you enjoyed memorizing Dutch vocabulary?

Word lists are boring. Flashcards get old fast. But what if learning vocabulary felt like playing an arcade game you cannot stop?

Welcome to RushWords.

Words Are Falling. Type Faster.

Dutch words drop from the top of your screen. You type the English translation before they hit the ground. Get it right? The word vanishes. Too slow? You lose a life.

It starts easy: huis, kat, water. Then the speed picks up. B1 words appear. They start falling in pairs. Your fingers need to keep up with your brain.

Most players say the same thing: “Just one more round.” Three rounds later, they are still playing.

“I told myself five minutes. It was forty-five minutes. I learned 60 new words and did not even notice.”

Combos Make It Addictive

Get multiple words right in a row and your streak combo builds. Your combo multiplies your score — so accuracy is just as important as speed.

We have seen players go from struggling with 15 words to crushing 60+ word streaks in weeks. That kind of progress is intoxicating.

Learn From Every Mistake

After each game, review every word you missed. See the correct translation, hear the pronunciation, add it to your personal list.

Then start a game using only your missed words. Targeted practice means you spend time on what you actually need to learn, not what you already know. This is where the magic happens.

Levels for Everyone

A1, A2, B1 word packs. Themed packs: food, travel, work, daily life. Mix them all for maximum chaos.

A typical game takes two to three minutes. Perfect for a coffee break, a train ride, or avoiding that email you do not want to answer.

The leaderboard updates in real time. How fast are your Dutch fingers? There is only one way to find out.

Luister maar even.
