An introduction to playing Word Recall
Read the aim of Word Recall, then make your first move. Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Look at what changes after your first action. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Included vocabulary and random repeats; a game, not a medical memory assessment.
Take a closer look while playing
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
The objective of a round
Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
Work through the instructions
- Read each displayed word.
- Choose New word or Seen before.
- Remember words from this round only.
- Three mistakes end the round.
How to use the controls
Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Check any mode label before starting.
Follow the 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. Verify the rule before continuing.
Notice this detail
A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
