Word Recall: rules and examples

Read the aim of Word Recall, then make your first move. Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. 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.

Take a closer look while playing

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.

What the game asks you to do

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.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.

One way to understand the rules

PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.

Avoid this misunderstanding

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.
