Release one word at a time

Tap the circle beside a word to release it from the screen. Consecutive actions build a streak. Instead of calculating an answer or finding a close button, this game directs the action toward words about everyday life.

Gather a breath to release several words

Hold the large circle at the bottom to gather a breath. Release, then press again to let several words go together. Choose between individual actions and releasing several words at once.

Passages and records to look back on

Each passage lasts 30 seconds, across 100 passages. You can pause or finish when you choose. Look back at the words released and the time spent playing.
