How to play
A word appears — and is spoken when your device has a voice for the language. Say it to yourself and feel its beats: tap the pad once for every syllable, then tap Check. Tap the word to hear it again.
A wrong count costs nothing: the word shows its syllables split by dots and is said again, then the same word is asked once more — only a first-try answer scores. Fifteen words: two syllables first, then two or three, then up to four.
Hebrew and Arabic, written without vowel marks, count pairs of letters instead of syllables.
