English vocabulary game for kids, homeschool and ESL
Read the word. Hit the matching picture. Learn 500+ English words.
X-Shooter is a word game that plays like a target range. A word appears. Pictures fall. You hit the one that matches before it lands. Miss, and a ping shows you where the right picture was — so the miss still teaches.
Tap play. Read the word. Hit the matching picture. Three short rounds — about 30 seconds. This is the real game, just smaller.

Not flashcards with a new skin. Three things I built in on purpose.
A lot of words have a short clip so the meaning is something you see, not only a line of text.
If you hit the wrong picture, a ping shows where the right one was. The miss still teaches. It is not just a score going down.
A few pictures fall at once. You find the match before it hits the ground. That is the whole trick: eyes, choice, word.
See the gameA short look at play, and how the game was built. Videos load only when you tap play, so the page stays quick.
A word sticks when you see it, hear it, and have to choose it fast — and when kids want one more round.
Each word sits on a clear picture. No long lists to stare at.

The game can read the word out loud in English, so the sound arrives with the picture.
Membership also includes X-Typer. Same words, by typing. Seeing a word and spelling it is how it stays.
The learning is the point. The game part is how kids stay in the chair.
The FunSame game. Three kinds of player.
A safe activity kids ask to play again.
Screen time you can live with.
For travel and work — not baby cards.
