Word Recall: how a round works

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Word Recall. Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Look at what changes after your first action.

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

One thing to notice as you play

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your objective

Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.

Start here and follow along

  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.

Your inputs

Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.

Learn from a sample situation

PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.

An important reminder

A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. A different version of the game may use a different rule. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
