How to play
- Pick a way to play. Memory: eight cards sit face-down — four vocabulary pictures and their four English words; flip two at a time to find the pairs.
- Read & tap: a English word appears — tap its picture from four. Press the speaker to hear the word first if you like.
- Drag: drag each English word onto its picture (or tap a word, then its picture).
- Connect: draw a line from each English word to its picture. Speed: tap the picture for each word that flashes up before the 45-second clock runs out.
- Every correct match plays the English word aloud, and fewer mistakes means a higher score.

How does matching help me learn vocabulary in English?
Pairing each picture with its English word — and hearing it spoken — builds fast visual recall of vocabulary vocabulary, which sticks better than reading a list.
What are the five ways to play?
Memory flip, Read & tap (see the English word, tap its picture), Drag (drop words onto pictures), Connect (draw lines between words and pictures) and Speed (match as many as you can in 45 seconds). Pick one from the start screen and switch any time between rounds.
