Russian Is Easy

Stretch your brain by pairing Russian and English words until every row vanishes—just don't let a wrong connection break your flow.

It looks like a matching game, but Russian Is Easy quietly teaches you vocabulary while you're busy trying to clear the board. Each round throws a batch of green Russian words and red English ones onto the screen. You draw lines between them with your mouse or finger. No timer, no lives—just you and your memory. That relaxed setup is exactly why I kept coming back. The real test happens after you pair every word. You tap the check button and hope you didn't mix up your 'кот' and 'dog'. I've definitely connected a few false friends wrong. When you finish a screen, there's something else worth paying attention to: closed items can show up at random. They're rare, but spotting one gives you a little collector's thrill and adds it to your collection tab. It's a small reward loop that makes the game more than a vocabulary drill. If you're new to Russian, don't panic. The game doesn't punish you for mistakes in the moment. You'll start recognizing patterns fast. The hardest part is resisting the urge to just click randomly when two words look vaguely similar. Slow down, say the words in your head, and the pairs start to feel obvious.

Start with words you already recognize—the obvious pairs free you up to solve the tricky ones. Use the check button only after all lines are drawn; it won't help mid-screen unless everything is connected. Watch out for false friends like 'магазин' and 'magazine'—they don't mean the same thing. Closed items show up randomly, so keep an eye on the board while you match. On desktop, click and drag slowly; on mobile, a finger tap-drag feels much cleaner. Don't guess randomly. Even if you don't know a word, look at word endings to narrow it down.
