Rooks or Checkers

How to Play

In this game, you must discover all the words in a special list.

There are 3 types of lists:

Synonyms – All of the words share a similar meaning with the main word at the top, and they are all the same part of speech: adjective, noun, or verb. They are arranged from well-known words to more erudite and sophisticated vocabulary.
Vocab – All the words are vocabulary for a specific topic or domain. The words are usually organized in a logical order, such as chronological or spatial.
Category – A few carefully selected people, places, or things from a category, such as U.S. Presidents, types of cheese, or capital cities in Asia, etc. These words progress from famous to less famous.

Each correct guess unlocks the boxes for the next word below.
