Welsh Word Games

What is Gemau Cymraeg?

Gemau Cymraeg means “Welsh games”. We make free Welsh-language games — daily word puzzles of the kind you play once a day with a coffee, not the kind that wants your email address first.

Everything here is free and stays free. There is no sign-up, no app to install, and no advertising before you play. The games run on a phone, a tablet or a desktop browser.

They are built for Welsh speakers and for people learning Welsh. The answers are always Welsh words, but the instructions can be read in English — so you do not need fluent Welsh to start, and plenty of people play with a dictionary open in another tab.

Both games build Welsh vocabulary sideways: you are solving a puzzle rather than doing an exercise, which is the only reason anyone comes back to them daily. If you are learning Welsh, that habit is worth more than the handful of words in any one puzzle.

For parents and teachers

These games are safe to put in front of a class or a child without any setup. There is nothing to sign up for, so no pupil ever creates an account or hands over a name or an email address. Nothing is stored about a player beyond their own puzzle progress, which stays in their own browser.

A single Wyrdol puzzle fits a lesson starter; Cwch Gwenyn suits a longer stretch or a pair working together. Both are free of advertising.

If you use these in a classroom, we would genuinely like to hear how — it shapes what we build next.
