Case overview
Overview
CJVT, the Centre for Language Resources and Technologies at the University of Ljubljana, builds dictionaries, corpora and tools for the Slovene language.
CJVT Igre brings that work to everyone as five short word games, with a new round every day.
The goal
A public learning hub that people of all ages open for a few minutes a day, enjoy as a pleasant challenge and come back to tomorrow.
Why games
People open a dictionary when they need a word. They open a daily puzzle because they want to. Short rounds, one fresh puzzle a day and a clear finish turn language practice into a habit, not homework.
The result
109,420 visitors so far and 5,500 monthly active visitors, who play for 8:34 on average.
One new round a day
Five games. A reason to come back tomorrow.

Five ways to play with words.
Each game trains a different language skill, from spelling to vocabulary. All five refresh every day, and yesterday's round stays open for anyone who missed it.
Cvetka
Save the flower
Guess the word from its category, one letter at a time, before you run out of tries and the flower wilts.
Besedolov
Hunt the words
Find five words on today's theme, hidden in a grid of letters.
Vezalka
Link the letters
Build as many words as you can from seven letters. Every word moves you up the progress bar.
Kombinator
Test your vocabulary
Round by round, starting with synonyms. Pick the word closest in meaning to the one in the red box.
Ugibanka
Guess the word of the day
Read a clue and guess the word. Three tries per clue; stuck, and the next clue makes it easier.
Built for a daily habit.
Small, quick and fresh every day: the shape that keeps people coming back.
A new round daily
Every game gets a fresh puzzle each day. Missed one? Yesterday's round stays open.
Five mechanics
Guessing, word search, word building, synonyms and clues. Each one trains a different skill.
For all ages
Clear rules, a timer and a score. Easy to start for a pupil, hard enough for a language lover.
