How Score and Record Work in whatlang
Updated
In whatlang, your Score and Record both start at 0 and are displayed at the top of the game screen, next to the round options (10, 20, 30, or no limit ∞). The Score reflects how you are doing as you guess languages from pictures, while the Record tracks your performance across rounds. The exact point values and record rules are not described on the page, so treat the display as live feedback rather than a documented formula.
What the two numbers mean
| Display | Starting value | What it reflects |
|---|---|---|
| Score | 0 | Your current result as you guess languages during play |
| Record | 0 | Your performance tracked across rounds |
Both appear together in the header area, so you can watch them change without leaving the picture you are guessing from.
How a round fits in
- Choose a round length: 10 rounds, 20 rounds, 30 rounds, or no limit (∞).
- Look at the picture — a street sign, store name, or random inscription.
- Submit your guess for the language.
- Check the Score and Record displays to see the result.
The page shows a "Next" control, which moves you to the following picture. The round-length choice sets how long a session runs; "no limit" means the session continues until you stop.
Practical points before you play
- Because the page does not publish a scoring formula, do not assume a correct guess is worth a fixed number of points. Use the Score display as the source of truth.
- The Record is most useful when you play a fixed number of rounds (10, 20, or 30), since the session has a clear end point to compare against.
- No pricing or login details are stated on the page, so nothing here should be read as confirming free or account-free access beyond what you see when you open the site.
If your goal is simply to understand the interface: Score is your in-game result, Record is your tracked performance, and both are visible alongside the round options from the first moment you load whatlang.
