FAQ

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.
