4. At the end of the game, press ENTER or the NEW GAME button to start a new game.

Remarks concerning the transcription:

• Some symbols combine automatically (diphthongs, long vowels, and affricates).
• All schwas (/ə/) are included in the target words even if they are optional.
• If there are multiple variants, any will be accepted.
• Stress marks are not required.

You can find the following in the settings dropdown menu:

• If you are unsure with regard to the transcription symbols, you can find examples in the Phoneme Inventory section.
• If you need a tip, you can reveal the first phoneme.
• You can change the variety between standard British English (RP) and standard American English (GA). Make sure to know which symbols are relevant to your variety as the keyboard always allows you to enter symbols of both varieties (cf. Phoneme Inventory).
• You can change the keyboard depending on your physical keyboard type (DE, UK/US, FR).
• You can enter any phoneme combination. If you increase difficulty, you can only enter correct words from the curated word list.
• You can also change colour contrast and theme. High contrast mode improves legibility through increased colour contrasts. The best visual distinction is provided in the dark high contrast mode.
