How to play Word Match
Pair the German word with its translation. This is active recall, which is measurably more effective than simply reading vocabulary lists. The timer adds pressure and builds speed.
Words come from the 45 lessons, so you review exactly the material you are studying. At the end you get a list of the words you missed — review those separately.
Game questions
How many words are in the game?
The most frequent nouns, verbs and adjectives from the 45 CEFR lessons. Pairs are reshuffled every round.
Is there a time limit?
Yes, there is a timer. It builds speed, and the missed words are shown at the end so nothing is lost.
How do the controls work?
Match the word on the left with the correct translation on the right. That is the whole rule.
