© 2011 Mindshapes Limited
Do you know what 'efficacious' means? Just what exactly is the opposite of 'bear'? This fast-paced word sorting game provides practice with opposing words. It starts easy, with word pairs, like 'up-down', but gets harder, with custom words drawn from biology, economics, politics, medicine, poetry and classical Greek prefixes. A study option lets you practice the words before you play, or you can jump right in and play by trial-and-error. The levels can be a little harsh, especially when the words are drawn from a large list. Each word is read out loud by opposing male or female characters who don't seem to like one another (a nice touch), and it is possible to pause the game at any time. For fast-paced practice with opposites, this is a good choice.
