Why Play Continuum?
Continuum challenges your ability to detect subtle differences in word meaning. You’ll arrange words along a scale—such as mild to strong or cold to hot—engaging vocabulary knowledge and semantic awareness.
Continuum vs Other Word Games
Unlike games that emphasize definition recall or speed, Continuum focuses on depth of understanding. It asks you to reason about how meanings relate rather than choosing a single correct answer.
