A word-tone game. A word appears and you judge whether it carries a positive or a negative emotional charge. One wrong answer ends the streak.

What is the difference between connotation and definition?

The definition is what a word denotes; the connotation is what it makes you feel. "Economical" and "cheap" can denote the same fact while pulling in opposite emotional directions · this game trains you to hear that pull.

What changes at higher difficulty?

The pool adds milder words. "Disaster" announces its tone; "stubborn" or "tidy" whisper it. Judging quiet valence quickly is the harder skill.

Does it work in my language?

Yes · the word pool is authored for each of the 25 supported languages, so you judge native words with their native connotations.
