Using the playing area
Click or tap one of the two answer buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
A mistake to avoid
A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
