Free interactive game
Word Runner
Pick a challenge, then run through the correct word! A question appears, two word-signs rush toward you, and you steer left or right to choose. Each level is 10 questions with 3 lives — clear it to unlock the next. Questions are pulled at random from hundreds, so every run is different.
How to play
- Choose Grammar, Vocabulary or Phrasal verbs.
- Read the question above the track. Two signs race toward the runner — tap the left or right half of the track (or press ← / →) to run through the correct word.
- Every level is 10 questions and you have 3 lives. A wrong word costs a life; lose all three and the level ends.
- Clear a level to unlock the next one. Your highest level in each category is saved on your device, and questions are randomised so no two runs are the same.
- The game fills your screen while you play — tap ✕ (top-left) to return to the menu.
Frequently asked questions
How do you play Word Runner?
Read the sentence above the track — one word is missing. Two signs then race toward the runner. Tap the left or right side of the track (or press the ← and → arrow keys) to run through the sign with the correct word. Clear all ten gates without a single wrong choice to win.
Is Word Runner free to play?
Yes. Word Runner is completely free and runs entirely in your browser — there is nothing to install, sign up for, or pay for.
What does the game teach?
It drills the English word choices learners most often get wrong: fewer vs. less, than vs. then, your vs. you're, its vs. it's, their vs. there, affect vs. effect, good vs. well and more. Reading the sentence under time pressure trains you to spot the right word instinctively.
Do I need to install anything or have a fast computer?
No installation is needed. The game uses your browser's built-in 3D graphics (WebGL), which works on most modern phones, tablets and computers. If the game does not appear, update your browser or enable hardware acceleration.
