Find your footing in Word Recall

One thing to notice as you play

Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The goal to keep in mind

Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

How to proceed

  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.

How your actions work

Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. A new-round button replaces the current round.

An example to follow

PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.

An important reminder

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.
