About Unspoken

Hi, this is Reva. I am the writer, designer, and puzzle-maker behind Unspoken.

By day, I work in design and technology, helping ideas take shape on screens. By night (and early mornings), I write stories and make word games.

Thanks for stopping by. Here, we build our vocabulary one nine-letter word at a time. It’s part puzzle and part reflection.

English is actually my third language. I learned it in school as a subject (grammar, tenses, all the rules and stuff) but it took me years to feel the language. I used to admire how native speakers seemed to have endless ways to say things. So I started teaching myself new words, one by one.

And something unexpected happened. The more words I learned in English, the more I understood and appreciated my mother tongue. Language really does shape how we think and express ourselves. And sometimes... it helps us see ourselves more clearly too.

If you love words and the quiet joy of learning with a touch of literary flair, you’ll feel right at home here. Come along. Let’s grow our vocabulary together, one nine-letter word at a time.
