Find Insect Names

Find Insect Names is a word-building puzzle that doubles as a quiet lesson in entomology. An insect appears on screen — sometimes familiar, sometimes surprisingly obscure — and the task is simply to reconstruct its name from a scattered set of letter tiles.

Wrong guesses chip away at a limited pool of lives, which keeps the pressure real without feeling punishing. Some names are short and obvious; others will genuinely catch you off guard, especially if your knowledge of beetles or flies runs thin.

What makes it work is the visual anchor. Staring at the actual creature while hunting for letters creates a small but genuine sense of connection — you're not just solving an abstract puzzle, you're putting a name to something real. Over time, names that once seemed impossible start to stick.
