How to play

A word is shown — and spoken when your device has a voice for the language. It hides on its own, or tap it to cover it early. Then build it: tap the letter tiles in order.

One tile is an extra look-alike that belongs nowhere; tap the word line to take the last letter back. The word checks itself as soon as it is complete.

A wrong build shows the right word ringed for a moment, then the same word is shown again — only a first-try build scores. Twelve words: four letters, then five, then six. Every word you build shortens the next look and every miss lengthens it.
