How to play
Hear the word — it is spoken when your device has a voice for the language; without one, it shows for a moment and then hides. Build it by tapping the letter tiles in order; two tiles are extras, one of them a look-alike.
Tap the line to hear or see the word again.
Every letter is checked as you place it: a wrong tile does not stick — the tile that belongs next is ringed and the word is said again — so the word is always built right in the end, but only a word built without a slip scores.
Twelve words: three letters, then four, then five.
