Practice beyond the first move

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your objective

Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

Follow these playing steps

  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.

The controls to know

Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A useful example

PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Take a moment to compare.

Keep this in mind

A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
