Punjabi games
Eight short games, each under two minutes. Six are drills — playing beats re-reading, and these are the bits of practice that actually move a language from "I've seen that" to "I know that". Two need no Punjabi at all: a daily quiz on Punjab, and one where you decide which words your Nani is allowed to hear. Free with an account — which is what carries your best scores, your streak and your saved words between your phone and your laptop.
The games need a free account
All eight games — the drills, Slang or Swear? and Punjab Trivia — are for signed-in learners. An account is free, takes a moment, and is what lets your scores, your streak and your saved words follow you between your phone and your laptop.
Not ready to sign up? The Gurmukhi alphabet, the vocabulary, the phrasebook and every story and guide are open to everyone, no account needed.

Why games, and not just more lists
Reading a vocabulary list feels like learning. Recalling a word without the list in front of you is learning — the effort of retrieval is what fixes it in memory. Every drill here forces that retrieval, and each one attacks a different weak point: Match Up and the Speed Round for meaning, Letter Hunt and Word Builder for the Gurmukhi script, Listen Up for your ear, and the Number Drill for the one thing that trips people up mid-conversation.
Two of them aren't drills at all. Slang or Swear? gives you a word and asks the only question that really matters about it — who is allowed to hear you say it. Getting that wrong is how people embarrass themselves in front of family, and it isn't something a vocabulary list can teach you; the difference between friendly slang, a blessing and a real insult is social, not linguistic. Punjab Trivia asks five questions a day about the festivals, gurus, empires and poets — the same five for everyone, so the score is worth arguing about. Neither needs a word of Punjabi to play, which is rather the point: they're for the cousin who says they're not a language person.
They're deliberately short. Two minutes of hard recall beats twenty minutes of scrolling, and a game you can finish at a bus stop is a game you'll come back to tomorrow. Coming back is the whole trick — your streak on the My learning page counts every day you show up, whichever way you practise.
The games ask you to sign in; nothing else on this site does. That is the one trade here: a free account keeps your scores, streak and saved words together across devices, and it keeps the ranked Daily Five honest by making every entry belong to somebody. Nothing is paywalled — the alphabet, vocabulary, phrases, guides and stories stay open to everyone, always.
