Your goal
Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. The example below illustrates a decision.
Step by step
- Read each displayed word.
- Choose New word or Seen before.
- Remember words from this round only.
- Three mistakes end the round.
Controls
Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
