App Description

Ontrafel is a word game in Afrikaans. It is loaded with over 5200 Afrikaans words. No internet connection is required to play.


You have to unravel a given group of juggled letters to form an Afrikaans word that matches the English hint in some way (at times quite vaguely).

Learn and play using small batches of words. It will help to build your vocabulary and it may even improve your spelling. See how many words you can unravel in a row. 


When you have mastered a batch of words just renew it by going to Settings. The size of the batch is selectable.



Pronunciation is also available. Save favorite words for later revision.
