Guess the word from the meaning of its origin.

Derivety challenges players to identify the day’s target word, guided by its origin word and the meaning of the origin word (as well as a helpful hint).

Once you press Play the timer starts, and a new letter is revealed every twelve seconds.

Type in your guess and click “Check Answer ↲”.

If you're correct, the clock stops, and you'll receive a Solve Time score.

If you're wrong, the board will shake and reset, allowing you to try again.

Play Derivety daily to test your vocabulary, learn new words and find out where words come from.
