Tips to play better

  • 💡 Think about the context a word is usually used in — it helps rule out options that look similar but are wrong.
  • 💡 Watch for traps: some options sound alike but mean something quite different.
  • 💡 You play in English or Portuguese, based on the language you picked at the start.
  • 💡 If two options seem synonymous with each other, look for the one that matches the original word's exact intensity or tone.
