Practice pulling words from memory quickly. Three short rounds, about five minutes in all.
1You’ll see a few letters, like WR. Tap Start when you’re ready.
2Say every word you can think of that starts with those letters. Tap +1 for each one. There is no typing.
3When the time is up, we show you some common words. Tap the ones you said.
Just like the Verbal Fluency exercise in class. Say the words out loud if you can. Thinking them works too.

The same game, but with a topic instead of letters. One round, with the same time as the letters. Try it and tell us if you would want it too.
About this mockup. “Word Rush” is a working title. The letters come from the live-class exercise Verbal Fluency Practice (Year 2, Quarter 2, Week 5): UN for practice, then CH, WR and DIS. The twelve words for each round are drafted for this example, common everyday words only, for Dr. Paul to approve. The speaker buttons use your phone’s own voice; the app would use its recorded voice. Nothing checks what you say out loud, so the count is on your honor. The points total is a placeholder, and your best round is remembered on this device only. The crackle is the app’s own fireworks sound.
