How to play

Flash Recall turns the humble flashcard into a reflex test. Choose a topic and level, then a word appears on screen — for the first round you get a generous three seconds, and every round after shaves a little more time off the flash. Your eyes take a photo of the word; then it vanishes and four meanings slide into view. Pick the right definition before your memory of the flash cools.

Each game is twelve rounds. Every correct pick scores points, and here is the arcade twist: your multiplier climbs one step every three correct answers in a row, up to ×5. One wrong pick snaps the streak back to ×1 — so the difference between a good run and a great one is simply not blinking. Three mistakes end the quiz early.

Wrong words are not punished twice: they drop into your review deck with their definitions, ready for spaced-repetition review on a schedule that stops you forgetting them again. Short on time? Twelve rounds is about ninety seconds — the whole game fits in a queue at the coffee machine.

FAQ

How does Flash Recall work?

Choose a topic. A word flashes on screen for a moment — read it fast because it disappears. Four meanings appear and you pick the right one. Twelve rounds per game; each correct answer scores points and a perfect streak multiplies your score up to ×5.

Why flash the word instead of leaving it on screen?

Brief exposure forces your brain to recognize the whole word quickly, the way you meet words in real reading. If a word is still slow to decode, the flash reveals it — and that word then goes into your review deck.

What is the highest combo multiplier?

The multiplier rises by one every three correct answers in a row, up to ×5. One mistake resets the streak, so long perfect runs are where the big scores live.

Can I play Flash Recall on a phone?

Yes — everything is tap-based, so it plays perfectly on a touch screen. Your best score is stored on the device you play on.
