How to play Word Recall

Word Recall is a calm memory game with no timer and no failure noise. A sequence of words appears, then you tap them back in the order you saw them. Each round adds another word. The question is simply how long a list you can hold.

How to play

• Watch the words appear one at a time, in order.
• When the sequence finishes, tap the words back in that same order.
• Get it right and the next round adds one more word.
• On a keyboard, the arrow keys move and Enter selects.
• P pauses, M mutes.

Tips

• Link the words into a silly sentence or story as they arrive. Sequences are much easier to recall as a narrative than as a list.
• Say each word to yourself as it appears. Hearing it as well as reading it gives you a second route back to it.
• Most people plateau around seven items. Getting past that is about chunking pairs together, not about concentrating harder.
