THE PLAYBOOK · XJFDJSZP

Word Recall: a guide for your next round

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Word Recall. Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

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

An idea for your next attempt

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The objective of a round

Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

The steps to 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 use the controls

Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Put the rules into context

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.

A useful caution

A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
