Aloha kākou.

ʻO wau ʻo Olin Kealoha Lagon. Here are the other Hawaiian language games I have gifted. They are all open source. Make a copy, edit it, re-release as your own version, or contact me if you want to take one over.

OleloDaily.com

A daily ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi vocabulary trainer. Bite-sized rounds, gentle streaks, an essentials track and a fluency track. The goal is small daily reps that compound, not a marathon. Built for learners who want to keep showing up.

ShiftyWords.com

A daily 5-letter word puzzle in six languages, including ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi. Switch the puzzle into Hawaiian from the footer language picker. Your streak is tracked separately for each language so you can keep one going in English and start a fresh one in Hawaiian.

Huakaʻi

A geography journey through Hawaiʻi. Most people who grew up here can name the islands. Fewer can name the moku. Fewer still can place an ahupuaʻa. These names tell you where the water flowed, who lived there, who fished, and what was grown. Huakaʻi shows you a photo and asks you to find where it sits on the map. Three taps from mokupuni to moku to ahupuaʻa, using live State of Hawaiʻi GIS data. The aim is not to be perfect on the first try. The aim is to keep returning, see new places, and slowly come to know the names of the land.

Mahalo for playing and learning Hawaiian.
