Meaning Sort
Twelve tiles, three categories. Sort every item into the group where it belongs. Some rounds sort by theme; others sort by evidence type or language.
How to play
Select a tile, then choose a bin. Place all 12 tiles, then submit. Incorrect placements are highlighted but not auto-corrected. You can revise and submit again, up to three times.
What this puzzle teaches or tests
Meaning Sort tests categorical thinking about names: theme, language, evidence type and word-versus-name status. The related guides explain each category in detail.
Sort by evidence, language and theme
Meaning Sort presents a small set of tiles and category bins. Move each tile into the category that best matches its language, meaning theme or evidence type, then submit the full arrangement. You receive several attempts, allowing you to revise the whole set rather than being stopped by one uncertain choice.
Some rounds distinguish direct translations from derived or symbolic connections. Others group names and vocabulary by language. These categories mirror the labels used in VooWood articles, making the game a quick way to practise reading claims carefully rather than assuming every thematic list item has the same status.
Select a tile and then its destination bin; keyboard users can follow the same sequence with Enter or Space. The submit step checks the complete arrangement and explains the correct placements when attempts run out, making the feedback useful beyond a simple score.
Round themes vary, so read each bin heading before placing the first tile. A familiar word can belong in a different category when the question changes from language to evidence type. This is deliberate: the activity tests classification from the labels on the current board, not a memorized fixed layout.
