Strategy: Greek Word Games

September 13th, 2023

I love playing word games in English and frequently play the popular word game Wordle. Thinking that it would be fun to try the game in Greek, I came across two different options based on the original game. One of these is ΛΕΧΛΗ and the other is ΛΕΧΟΥΛΑ.

Having a limited Greek vocabulary, I needed a different strategy than I use when playing in English. My strategy has yielded a 73% win rate for 293 games on ΛΕΧΛΗ and a 79% win rate for 213 games on ΛΕΧΟΥΛΑ.

Even if I don’t win, I feel like I’ve won because in playing the game I learn a lot about spelling in Greek and am introduced to new words. Want to try my strategy? Keep reading. If you want to build your own strategy, stop reading now.

Καλώς ήρθετε στο blog μου! Welcome to my blog!

Hello, fellow Modern Greek learner! Με λένε Λιζ (My name is Liz). I’ve been learning Modern Greek for about four years. During that time, I’ve met a lot of people, made friends, traveled in Greece and learned some Greek in the process. As with any journey, there’s been a few rough spots (psst…Greek grammar – I’m talking about you!) and lots of high points. This blog includes posts about some of those high points and low points, as well as thoughts about language learning and pages with suggested resources. I hope you will find this helpful your Modern Greek Learning Journey.

Throughout the blog, I’ll be writing both in Greek and in English. Please excuse the mistakes in Greek. I’m sure there will be many, as I’m currently (Sept 2023) somewhere between levels A2 and B1.
