Image to Word Match

Image to Word Match is a picture-and-vocabulary game that lives entirely in the drag. A picture sits on the board, the words sit beside it, and you move one onto the other. Correct pairs answer back with a Well done, wrong ones with an error, so a young player learns the shape of the word without anyone having to explain the rules first.

The two modes change things more than they look like they would. Easy lets you wander back and forth through the set at your own pace, which suits a reader still sounding words out letter by letter. Normal hands you three lives, and suddenly the picture you were only half sure about is worth stopping to look at twice.

How to play

Click or tap a picture, hold it, and drag it over the word you think it belongs to, then release. A correct pair confirms with a Well done message and a wrong one shows an error instead. Pick Easy if you want to move through the set freely and return to earlier pictures whenever you like. Pick Normal if you want the pressure of three lives, where a third wrong drop ends the round.

Controls

Click and hold a picture with the mouse, drag it onto a word, and release to make the match. On phones and tablets, touch the picture and drag it across the same way.
