Aim for this result

Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

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.

Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

See the idea in action

PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Verify the rule before continuing.

Keep this in mind

A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
