Included vocabulary and random repeats; a game, not a medical memory assessment.
One thing to notice as you play
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
The purpose of your moves
Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.
Follow these playing steps
- Read each displayed word.
- Choose New word or Seen before.
- Remember words from this round only.
- Three mistakes end the round.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Try this example
PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Check this before moving on
A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
