Goal

Each sentence has exactly one word it doesn't need, because another word already says it — the "number" in "PIN number", the "free" in "free gift", the "back" in "return back". Tap it. After each answer, the reason is shown.

Levels

• 4 right at a level moves you up; 2 misses in a row move you down.
• Plain cases first, then verbs that already say it ("merge together"), then nouns that already say it ("end result"), then longer sentences and subtler cases. Level 8 gives 9 seconds a sentence.

Scoring

A right answer earns 3 + the level, plus 1 for every 3 in a row (up to +3). A miss costs 2 + the level.

Precise Language

Noticing a word that repeats another's meaning takes close reading and a sharp sense of what each word really means — the habit behind clear, concise writing.
