Have you seen this word before?
You will be shown words one at a time. Your task is to remember if you've seen each word before in this session.
Click "SEEN" if the word has appeared before, or "NEW" if it's the first time seeing it.
You have 3 lives. The game ends when you run out of lives.
Test your verbal memory capacity with this word recognition game. Words appear one at a time, and you must determine whether each word is new or one you've seen before in the current session. The challenge intensifies as more words accumulate in your memory, testing the limits of your word recall abilities. Expand your word knowledge with our vocabulary builder tool.
The game features over 100 common English words with an intelligent repetition system. As you progress, previously seen words reappear with increasing frequency, challenging you to maintain accurate recall. With 3 lives and keyboard shortcuts for quick responses, see how high you can score before your memory fails. For another cognitive interference challenge, try the Stroop test.
Verbal memory is essential for reading comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and learning new languages. This type of recognition memory underlies our ability to identify familiar information and distinguish it from novel input. You can also train your overall memory with our memory card game. Regular training can improve reading fluency, enhance vocabulary retention, and support overall language processing abilities.
