Wordle in Spanish, French, and Other Languages: Where to Play in 2026
The original Wordle has always been English-only, which hasn't stopped millions of people from searching for "Wordle en español," "Wordle en français," or a version in whatever language they actually speak. Here's what genuinely exists for the most-searched languages, and why Lumira is the more practical option if you want more than one language covered.
Why the Original Wordle Never Added Other Languages
Wordle's mechanic depends on a fixed word list for a specific language, and the New York Times has kept it English-only since acquiring it. That gap is exactly why a wave of independent, language-specific clones appeared — built by fans and small studios to fill in what the original never covered.
Wordle-Style Games in Other Languages
French: Sutom
Sutom is a well-known French take on the format, widely played and specifically built around French vocabulary and letter frequency rather than a translation of the English word list.
German: Wördl
Wördl is the German-language equivalent, following the same guess-and-color-feedback mechanic adapted to German words.
Portuguese: Termo
Termo is a popular Portuguese-language version, widely played in Brazil, built the same way — native vocabulary and letter patterns, not a translated English list.
Spanish and others
Spanish has several fan-made versions floating around with varying quality and consistency, and coverage thins out fast once you look past the handful of languages above — there's no single, well-established version for most other languages.
The pattern across all of these
Each of these is a separate site or app, built and maintained independently, usually by a different small team. There's no single place that covers more than one or two languages at a time — if you speak multiple languages, or you're learning one, you're stuck juggling several different apps.
Why Lumira Covers This Better Than Chasing Individual Clones
Instead of one language per app, Lumira supports 29 languages in a single game, each with its own full set of 750 levels built specifically for that language — not a translated version of the English puzzles.
That matters for two different kinds of players:
- If you're a native speaker of a language without a solid Wordle clone, Lumira is likely the only real option built specifically for you.
- If you're learning a new language, Lumira lets you switch from your native language to the one you're learning inside the same app, instead of hunting down a separate clone for each one.
On top of the language coverage, Lumira adds features none of the single-language clones have: an Online Duel Mode to race another player, a Co-op Lobby Mode to solve puzzles together, and daily, weekly, and monthly leaderboards.

Final Thoughts
If you only need one specific language, one of the dedicated clones above might be exactly what you're looking for. But if you speak more than one language, or you're trying to learn one, juggling a different Wordle clone per language gets old fast — which is the specific gap Lumira is built to close, with 29 languages and 750 levels each in one app.
