Word Recall: instructions and practice

Practice with a purpose

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What you are aiming for

Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

Step by step

  1. Read each displayed word.
  2. Choose New word or Seen before.
  3. Remember words from this round only.
  4. Three mistakes end the round.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.

Learn from a sample situation

PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.

Notice this detail

A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
