Words flash one at a time — decide if each is new or seen before.
Read each word and press SEEN if it appeared earlier in this round, or NEW if you have not seen it yet.
A correct answer continues the test; a mistake costs one of your three lives.
Try to keep the round going as long as possible and beat your best score.
Verbal Memory Test measures how many words you can hold in memory. Words appear one at a time and you simply decide whether you have already seen each word. You start with three lives, and the list keeps growing, so concentration is everything. It is a quick, friendly way to test short-term memory. It is aimed at players aged 8+ and up, and a typical round takes around 3 minutes. If you already enjoy brain-training, memory and word games, you will feel at home here within seconds.
The goal is straightforward. The on-screen instructions walk you through it, and you can start playing with a single click. Controls are intuitive: use your mouse or keyboard on a computer, or tap and swipe on a phone or tablet. Because everything runs locally in your browser, Verbal Memory Test reacts instantly and never needs a page reload.
