Rules, controls and help for Word Recall

Open Word Recall, check the instructions and begin a round. Identify new and previously seen words before losing three lives. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

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

Give this approach a try

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. Refer to the controls when needed.
