About
A free contest in which middle and high school students solve self-contained puzzles about how languages work — no prior linguistics or programming knowledge required, just logic and pattern-finding. Top scorers on the open round advance to an invitational round, and the best students may be selected for the International Linguistics Olympiad. Held individually at registered university and school sites.
Eligibility
Open to middle and high school students in the United States and Canada. Free to participate; students compete individually at registered sites.
