A passage flashes one word at a time on a fixed center point, and you only earn a faster reading speed if you can prove you understood it.

How to play
Each round flashes a short passage word by word using rapid serial visual presentation, then asks one comprehension question. Pass it and your reading speed climbs; miss it and you slow down.
Watch the single flashing word and keep your eyes still on the center
Answer the multiple-choice question about what you just read
A correct answer raises your words-per-minute ceiling; a wrong one lowers the pace
Three failed checks end the run, your highest speed is your score

Tips & strategy
Keep your gaze fixed on the spot where words appear instead of chasing them, that is what trains faster reading
