Getting started with 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. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

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

Bring this focus to a round

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. Keep the objective visible.

Your goal

Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

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.

How your actions work

Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

See how the rules apply

PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.

Watch out for this

A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
