Great fun, especially if you are learning one of our featured languages.

Hi there, I'm Peter Noblett. I originally created the game Xanagrams in 1983, these early editions ran on the Amstrad, Sharp MZ, sold over 100,000 copies on cassette. I created a web prototype in 2019 with this version in 2024. Please let me know if something doesn't work. I also love hearing suggestions. Email me at xanagarams@gmail.com.

The spelling of some modern French words is often the same as their English equivalent. Xanagrams includes two slightly different sets of French clues. The second set, Easy French is designed to help those just starting to learn French, as it contains many words that have a similar spelling to the corresponding English word.
To make it a little more challenging, any words where the English and French spelling is the same have been removed from the first set of French words.
