Verbal Memory
Words appear one at a time — call each one Seen (it showed earlier) or New (first appearance). Correct calls score, wrong calls cost one of three lives. The run ends when you're out; your score is total correct answers.

About this game
Verbal Memory is a recognition-memory drill: the word pool follows the page language (common Chinese words / common English words), and every Seen/New answer is judged against the real deal history — nothing is scripted.
New words can't pile up indefinitely and repeats never stack three in a row; if the fresh pool runs dry the game keeps dealing repeats so a run never dead-ends. Arrow keys also answer: ← Seen, → New.
How scoring works
- Score = total correct calls — higher is better.
- Seen only scores when the word genuinely appeared earlier in the run.
- 3 lives; each wrong call costs one; your best is stored locally.
- Self-compiled word pools (2,000 common words per language) — no list copied.
Frequently asked questions
How does it work?
One word at a time: call it Seen if it appeared earlier in the run, New if it's the first time. Correct calls score, wrong calls cost one of three lives — the run ends when you're out.
Is the Seen/New judgement reliable?
Completely. Every call is judged against the actual deal history: a word only counts as Seen if it genuinely appeared this run. Fresh words are never secretly repeated, and repeats never stack three in a row.
Where does the word list come from?
Self-compiled pools that follow the page language — 2,000 common Chinese words on the Chinese page, 2,000 common English words on the English page. No existing word list was copied.
Can the pool run out?
A few normal sessions will not run through the fresh words. If a very long run does use all 2,000, the game keeps dealing repeats — still judged honestly — so a run only ends when your lives do.
Where is my best score stored?
Only in this device's browser — nothing is uploaded, no account, no global ranking. One tap on the result screen clears it.
Any shortcuts?
Besides the two buttons, arrow keys answer too: ← Seen, → New.
