Every wrong answer costs a heart. Survive as long as you can as the words climb from A1 to C2.
A game that finds your level
Survival starts gently and gets harder every few answers, so most players reach a point where the words become unfamiliar. That point is useful: it is roughly where your reading material should be, challenging enough to teach you something but not so hard that you stop enjoying it.
Learn from the hearts you lose
The words that cost you a heart are listed at the end with their meanings. Those are your next words to learn. Read them out loud, write a sentence with each one, and watch for them in the next book or article you open.
Vocabulary Survival: questions and answers
How fast does it get harder?
The level goes up every five questions: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and then C2 for the rest of the run.
Can I get lives back?
No, three hearts is all you get. That is what makes a long run special.
What is a good score?
Reaching 15 means you handled the B1 words. Above 25 you are in advanced C1–C2 territory.
