Word Recall: how a round works
Open Word Recall, check the instructions and begin a round. Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Included vocabulary and random repeats; a game, not a medical memory assessment.
Give this approach a try
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Keep the objective visible.
The goal to keep in mind
Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Read each displayed word.
- Choose New word or Seen before.
- Remember words from this round only.
- Three mistakes end the round.
Controls
Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Put the rules into context
PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.
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. 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.
