About

Concentration by Gwimpy

Features
Read full description

Age old format for a game, but powerful. Gwimpy has selected a range of three letter words (Consonant, Vowel, Consonant) that are frequently used in early stages of learning. The words are shown randomly and Gwimpy has decided not to time it or put too many bells and whistles in so that your child can concentrate!
