English Quest

How to play English Quest

1. Choose a quest. Each has 6–8 English words. Browse the collections or use Previous/Next. Challenge settings change hints and points, keeping the same words. Continue a saved quest or restart it from its map.
2. Picture bonus. If at least three quest words have distinct illustrations, identify those words from their pictures and meaning clues. This stop is optional.
3. Meanings. Choose each word’s meaning. If meanings overlap, reveal and study the word instead of taking an ambiguous scored question.
4. Memory Match. Turn over word and meaning cards. Match all the pairs across small boards. Matching uses the exact meanings.
5. Sentence Rescue bonus. Type a quest word into its example, with the meaning beside it. Only examples containing the exact word are used. This stop is optional.
6. Spelling. Recall each word from its meaning. Beginner shows the first letter and length; Intermediate shows length; Advanced leaves both hidden. Hints halve that answer's points; Expert has no hints.
7. The Nemesis. Finish a mixed meaning and spelling challenge using every quest word. There is no timer. Then claim your trophy.

Start with three hearts. A wrong answer, reveal or mismatched pair costs one. Missed words return for another try. At zero, retry that stage with three hearts; completed stops remain complete and unfinished points are discarded. Leaving or reloading also restarts the unfinished stage from its checkpoint, retaining lost hearts.

Correct answers build combos up to ×5. Clear a stage with at least 80% unaided first answers correct to open its 500-point chest, multiplied by your challenge level. Memory Match needs at most two turns per pair. A perfect unaided stage earns one extra heart, up to six. Each stop pays its rewards once per quest; skipped or entirely unscored stops earn no reward.

Your trophy records completion of this word set, not an English proficiency level. Scores and checkpoints stay on your device. Use My review deck to schedule practice, or play My Words Quest with your saved words.

Quest 1, Start to Trophy

The first quest is Everyday essentials: water, home, book, phone, chair, table, food and coffee. Four of those words have pictures, so the star map starts with the Picture bonus, and every example contains its word, so Sentence Rescue is on the map too. Here is one question from each stop.

• Picture bonus. A glass of water and the clue “the clear liquid that people drink”. The game asks “Which selected word fits this picture and clue?” Choose water.
• Meanings. The word table: choose “a piece of furniture with a flat top”, not “a seat for one person” (that is chair) or “the place where you live” (home).
• Memory Match. Turn over chair and find its card, “a seat for one person”. A pair that does not match costs a heart.
• Sentence Rescue. “Your order is ready at the _____.” Type table.
• Spelling. The meaning is “a dark drink made from roasted beans”, and on Beginner the clue reads “Starts with C · 6 letters”. Type coffee. Type “cofee” and it costs a heart, and coffee comes back later in the stage.
• The Nemesis. Meaning and spelling questions take turns, with every word in the quest, until the Nemesis is beaten. Then claim your trophy.

Every right answer is worth 100 points on Beginner. Four right in a row doubles each answer, and eight in a row triples it. A miss resets the combo, and each new stop starts it again at ×1.

The video ends on a real run of this quest on Beginner, played at a learner's pace: three pairs that did not match in Memory Match, one “cofee” in Spelling, then 9,200 points with three hearts left. Can you beat it? Start Quest 1, or play the same stops with your saved words.
