If you teach languages and search for an activity builder, Wordwall is usually the first name you meet. It's a genuinely good tool with an enormous head start. This page is an honest look at where it wins, where Lingoken, the game builder for language teachers, wins, and how to decide, with no fabricated claims about either product.
What Wordwall is good at
Wordwall's strength is breadth and reuse of ready-made content. Its free tier lets you create up to three activities from a set of standard templates, and its paid Standard and Pro plans unlock unlimited activities, more templates, printable worksheets, and access to a very large library of community-made resources you can adapt. (See Wordwall's own price plans for current tiers and regional pricing, Wordwall localises prices by country, so check the page for your region. Facts here verified June 2026.)
If what you want is the largest possible library of pre-built activities and printables, Wordwall is hard to beat.
What Lingoken does differently
Lingoken is built around a different workflow, AI-native authoring from your own lesson material, and a loop that closes with results:
| Lingoken | Wordwall | |
|---|---|---|
| Build from your lesson | Describe it; AI drafts a playable game you edit | Pick a template; fill it in manually |
| Switch formats | Reuse one content set across formats without re-typing | Re-enter content per template type |
| Assigning to students | Share one link; no student account needed | Share a link; assignable |
| Seeing results | Live scores and answers reported back to you | Available depending on plan/format |
| Focus | Built specifically for language teaching | General-purpose, all subjects |
The short version: Wordwall optimises for a big shelf of activities; Lingoken optimises for getting your lesson into a game fast and knowing who actually practised.
