Word Recall: how a round works

Bring your attention to one round of Word Recall. Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Use the example below to understand a decision. 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.

Try a more deliberate round

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The goal to keep in mind

Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

The order of play

  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.

How to interact with the game

Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

Learn from a sample situation

PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.

Notice this detail

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.
