Here are a few corrections that should be made:

•You have 3 tries to get a word in finding given time, all be depleted, the game ends.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. something like the following?
You have 3 tries to get a word in the given time. When those tries run out, the game ends.

•Are you playing in various categories, here you will have constant letters.
I’m not sure what this line is trying to say

•The button below, provides assistance.
This doesn’t need a comma.
The button below provides assistance.

•Note: only if a hand appears the word is also recognized.
I’m not entirely sure if you’re trying to say that a word is only recognized when a hand appears, or if a hand appearing is another way for the player to tell a word is recognized. I get the impression that the word is only recognized when a hand appears, so the phrase should be this:
Note: A word is only recognized if a hand appears

•Super you just get your first points
needs a comma:
Super, you just get your first points

•Now enter the word TECH You don’t see the Hand, the word is not recognized.
needs a period after TECH and a “so”:
Now enter the word TECH. You don’t see the Hand, so the word is not recognized.

I’ve seen a few people suggest a site where devs could ask for translations of their stuff by native speakers that are willing to put the effort in for free. And yet, I still haven’t seen a site that does it.

Either it’s harder than I think, or it’s just not fun enough.

thank you !

it should be :
•If you are playing in various categories, here constant letters will be shown.
( the game provides different game - categories like basic / action / and so on, depending on this, different elements are visible )

right ?

Maybe something like, “There are various categories, each with a constant set of letters”
