How to play
The game runs in the box at the top of this page. Tap Start to begin with three lives.
- Read the pair: A is to B (for example HAND is to GLOVE).
- Apply the same relationship to C (FOOT is to ?).
- Tap the option that completes it (SOCK).
- A correct answer grows your streak; a wrong one costs a life, and three misses ends the game.

What it trains
Word Analogies works your verbal reasoning: seeing how two words relate, then mapping that relationship onto a new pair.
- Spotting relationships between words
- Vocabulary and word meaning
- Mapping a rule from one pair to another
Like any single game, you'll mostly get better at analogies themselves. It's a fun language workout, not an intelligence score.
Common analogy types
Once you recognize the kind of relationship, the answer usually clicks.
- Opposites: HOT–COLD, WET–DRY.
- Part to whole: WHEEL–CAR, FOOT–LEG.
- Function: PEN–WRITE, KNIFE–CUT.
- Young to grown: PUPPY–DOG, CHILD–ADULT.
The honest way to read your score
Your streak only matters next to your own earlier games. Vocabulary, mood, and focus all shift it, so look at your trend over several sessions rather than one run, and don't treat it as an IQ measure.
