Word Recall: how a round works

Choose a round of Word Recall and settle into its rules. Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Included vocabulary and random repeats; a game, not a medical memory assessment.

Take a closer look while playing

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.

PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.

Notice this detail

A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. Compare the situation with the worked example. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
