MIRRORED WORD

A word appears reversed, back to front — figure it out and type the original.

🎯 Difficulty: 3 levels, with words from 3 to 12 letters depending on difficulty.⏱ Average time: 2 to 4 minutes per round.

Read the mirrored word and type its correct form.

The screen shows "EMOH" — reading it backwards, you type HOME.

Visual perceptionWorking memory

💡 Read the word backwards letter by letter instead of trying to picture the whole thing at once.
💡 Shorter words are easier to flip in your head — start on easy to get the hang of it.
💡 Use hints sparingly: on hard mode they're limited, so save them for when you're truly stuck.
💡 Writing the reversed word down (or working through it syllable by syllable in your head) helps a lot while you're still getting the hang of it.

Reading mirrored words activates brain areas tied to visual perception and working memory — it's an exercise even used in cognitive tests.

How many hints do I get?

It depends on difficulty: 2 on easy, 1 on medium and none on hard.

What happens if I get too many wrong?

Once you hit the miss limit for your difficulty, the round ends and the word is revealed.

Does the game show how many letters the word has?

Yes, the letter count is visible before you even start typing.
