The Word Recall playbook

Word Recall gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

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

A focus for your next round

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.

Aim for this result

Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

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.

The controls to know

Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.

One way to understand the rules

PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.

An important reminder

A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
