One word a day keeps your mind sharp.

A secret word is hiding somewhere in the dictionary. Every guess you make lands earlier or later — and two walls close in until it has nowhere left to hide.

The board: a secret word trapped between two walls.
How it works

Three moves, and the dictionary gives it up.

1

Type any real word

Anything in the dictionary counts. There is no wrong first move, and nothing to lose by trying.

2

See which side it falls on

Your word lands earlier or later than the secret one, alphabetically. The wall on that side moves in.

3

Close the gap

Keep narrowing until only one word can be left standing between the walls. Then it is yours.

Two walls, closing
Two walls, closingThe bar is the alphabet. Everything between the walls is still possible.
Nothing is forgotten
Nothing is forgottenEvery guess stays on screen, with the direction it sent you.
The word of the day, won
The word of the day, wonThree stars, what it means, and a line to remember it by. It joins your collection.
What you get

A daily ritual that fits in a coffee break.

A new word every day

One word, the same for everyone playing your language. Come back tomorrow and the streak grows.

Endless, when one isn't enough

Chain rounds together, build a multiplier and push your record as far as it will go.

The words you caught

Every word you trap is saved with its definition, its pronunciation and a line worth reading.

Challenge a friend

Send a link. They play the same word. You see both walls, side by side, when they're done.

Italian and English

Two real dictionaries, not one translated into the other. French, German, Portuguese and Spanish are on the way.

Hints when you want them

Reveal a letter, or let Dixio take a turn. A hint costs attempts — never money.

The reward

Every word you trap is yours to keep.

Win a round and the word joins your collection with its definition, its pronunciation and a quote. Months later it is still there, and you will still remember catching it. (This one is from the Italian dictionary.)

Questions

Before you install.

Is it really free?
Yes. The whole game is free, and short rewarded videos pay for it. Dixio Premium costs €5.99 once — not a subscription — and removes interstitials and the wait on hints. It buys no advantage.
Do I need an account?
No. There is nothing to sign up for, and Dixio plays perfectly with no connection at all.
How long does a round take?
About two minutes for the daily word. Endless runs as long as you want it to.
Which languages?
Italian and English today, each with its own dictionary — a word is never a translation of another language's word. French, German, Portuguese and Spanish are being prepared.
Is there a timer?
Never. Nothing counts down, nothing expires mid-round, and you cannot lose the daily word.
Where do the words come from?
From open lexical sources, published with attribution under their original licences. AI arranges and illustrates that material; it never invents a definition or a quotation.

Tomorrow there's a new word.

Two minutes a day, a dictionary you actually enjoy, and a streak worth keeping.
