Help

Fill the gap asks you to use meaning across a passage. Spot the swap asks you to check a word against facts elsewhere in the text. You can keep reading the passage while you answer.

Nearby clues uses a single word and a close clue. Connect the details uses a word or phrase, or two changed words with clues farther apart. Read between sentences uses a linking sentence or three changed words, including a number to work out.

Each incorrect selection cancels one found word in this round’s score.

Fill the gap: 1–4 selects an option. Spot the swap: arrow keys move between words; Enter or Space selects a word. Tab moves to Check answer. Enter checks or continues when an answer control is not focused. Shortcuts pause while typing or viewing help.
