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. Look at what changes after your first action. Read the objective before making your first input. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Included vocabulary and random repeats; a game, not a medical memory assessment.
Build a steady rhythm
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. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Step by step
- Read each displayed word.
- Choose New word or Seen before.
- Remember words from this round only.
- Three mistakes end the round.
Controls
Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
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. Compare the situation with the worked example. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
