Idiom Hunt
Collect words in order to rebuild idioms, level by level.
The objective of Idiom Hunt is to pass as many level as possible by collecting words in the correct order to complete the idiomatic expressions. To collect a word, you must jump all the way into it. The words will appear at the top of the screen as you collect them. The given words, all the words that make up the idiomatic phrase displayed randomly, are shown at the bottom of the screen. The description, the meaning of the phrase, is shown at the bottom as well.
Controls

Tips & Tricks
Say the phrase in your head before ordering it. Idioms are stored as sound, and the rhythm tells you the word order faster than the meaning does.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does word order matter?
Yes — collecting the right words in the wrong order does not complete the expression, which is the whole point of the format.
Is this useful for learning English?
It is one of the better formats for it, because idioms are exactly the part of a language that rote vocabulary study misses.
