False friends — the words that trick you
False friends look like a word in your own language and mean something else entirely. They are the errors that survive longest, because nothing about them feels wrong. This game surfaces them deliberately: you judge what a look-alike really means, then see the true equivalent alongside it.
58 language pairs across 16 study languages and 16 native languages, so the traps are the ones your specific language pairing actually produces.
