How to play Word Recall

Try Word Recall at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Use the example below to understand a decision. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Look at what changes after your first action.

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

Focus on one rule

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Keep the objective visible.

Your goal

Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Notice how the game responds to your input.

Step by step

  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.

Controls

Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A useful example

PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.

Watch out for this

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.
