Frequently asked questions
How does Spot the lie work?
You see one statement at a time that pairs a term with a meaning. Sometimes the meaning is right, and sometimes it belongs to a different term. Swipe or tap Lie or True.
Where do the lies come from?
They come from your own material. A lie pairs a term with the meaning of another item, picked to look similar to the real one.
Is there a timer?
Yes. A round is 60 seconds, with a combo for right answers in a row. A missed item comes back a few cards later.
