Everyday, decipher redacted articles before time runs out. You can test as many words as you wish to reveal the content little by little. The closer from the redacted words your words are, the greener the background gets. Once the title is fully revealed, you win! The proximity between words is not just about their spelling, their context weighs a lot. The links between articles, the meaning of the words and the frequency at which they tend to be seen together are all taken into account. ** Features ** • There are several articles to decipher everyday, both in American English and in French. • Compete in real time with other players to decipher each article faster. • Get hints to partially reveal the content of an article if you are stuck. • Share your victory diploma with your friends to show them how fast you were able to decipher an article. • Rank in online leaderboards and earn achievements in Game Center.
