Schöne Worte!
Just wanted to leave something for the associations game, a complete phrase rather than a word-by-word:
Durch
Erklärugen
unterrichtest
tolle
Sprache
cooler
Herren
Nice :)! (Some poetic license with the grammar but that’s fine)
The only other word I can make out in Weinachtsbaum is ‘ausmachen’…;)
Indeed ;)
I decided to swap the associations just for fun.

Weihnachtsbaum
Baum counts, right? Weit, nach, nicht, Maus, heit? Haus, Buch, Stein, Bach, tauchen, Bauch.
That was a pretty fun exercise! I think it’s probably best if you use a decently long word. (Fortunately, there aren’t a shortage of those in German.)
Baum counts but “heit” doesn’t :) (just in case you ever play Scrabble with Germans)
Challenge angenommen! :D
Weihnachtsbaum
Wehtun
Hand
Bauch
Wacht

Noch dann…
A- Ach

Ich kann weiter schreiben? Geil!

Abhauen
Wale
Acht
Bunt
Weihe
Mischt
Machten
Stand
Hach
Hast
Ist
Sein
Baum
Tauschen
Sucht
Wunsch
Alles das ist klappen kann. :)
Wow, du bist gut darin. Aber “Weihe” geht nicht. Du hast nur ein “e”. Stand geht auch nicht (kein “d” ) . Und “Machten” gibt es nicht :)
So wenig Sinn macht das gar nicht :D
Weihnachstbaum:
Hase
Nase
Name
Tasche
Only simple words, but I think it still counts.

That could be from a modern poetry book. “vergeben, erkennen” and the “trotz” at the end give it an artsy feel, for me anyway :)

There are plenty of Anagram games ( what you called “Word- Box” for the 1st game) in the app store. My favorite anagram-type game app is called “Just Jumble”. :-)
Yeah, I figured but I had no idea how to look for it (didn’t think of using “Anagram”). Danke dir!
Hahah… for some reason I found it REALLY hard to believe that “munchies” is in Weihnachtsbaum. Aw, and thanks for spelling my name out :D. So nice
Hi Emanuel, hope you found a few Anagrams games to your liking on the app store. Since you like word games, there is an app called “German Word Search Puzzles”…. I think you might enjoy it and will be easy for you. :-) I am glad you, your family and friends are Ok. Be careful & stay safe.
Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I’m sure many learners will enjoy this :)
I will take all the easy ones for the first game: nacht, baum, ich, mich and wie
As for the second:
Deutschland (I know, a bit of a cheat)
Entschuldigung (because that’s what I will be saying all the time when I am in Germany)
Ubersetzung
Taglich
Schwierig
Computer? Are there any words in German that start with C other than cognates from English or other languages
Hart
Thanks for the games!
Super!! As for “c”… not many, that’s for sure. There are some science terms with “c” like Chlor or Cellophan. And Chaos. Oh and Chor (for choir).
Also der Choral, which seems very German.
Oh, stimmt. Ist aber bestimmt Latein.
