शब्द सफ़ारी · Shabda SafariCatch the word

Lanterns float by carrying Hindi words — catch the one that means the English clue. One minute, one high score. Free, no sign-up.

How to play

Catch the lantern with the right word — as many as you can in a minute. One minute on the clock — catch as many as you can.

Good to know

Is शब्द सफ़ारी free? Do I need an account?

Yes — free, no sign-up. Sign in with an email code only if you want your सिक्के and streak to follow you across devices.

How are सिक्के earned?

Every round earns सिक्के — most for right first time, fewer after a hint or a miss — and a clean play adds a bonus. The game gets harder as you do well, and harder levels pay more: ×1.25, then ×1.5.

Do I need to read Hindi to play?

Not fluently. Every Hindi word is said aloud, and you can look any of them up in समझो, the word atlas — so you can play by ear and pick the script up as you go.

Does it work on a phone, a tablet, a laptop?

Yes — any of them, in the browser, nothing to install. Bolbala is built for the small screen first; add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
