Mice caught this week

None yet. After the first page she can catch a baby mouse if she solves a small sum.

Words she built

None yet. Each chapter has one tile word.

Allow the microphone

This chat preview often blocks the mic with no popup. That is the preview window, not a setting you can flip here. She can still tap the words in order.

On a phone or tablet, open the game as its own page, tap Read it, then tap Allow.

• iPhone: Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone → turn Safari on. If you already tapped Block, tap AA or ⋯ in the address bar → Website Settings → Microphone → Allow, then reload.
• Android: tap the lock by the address → Permissions → Microphone → Allow, then reload.

How the check works

Each chapter starts with a short listen-only scene, and ends with one that teases the next night. She does not read those. Then she reads first: the page will not say the sentence until she gets it right. Tap Read it, let her say the words, then tap I'm done. After the first page she can catch a baby mouse if she solves a small sum. After the word tiles she walks Violet to a place to search for mice. Story words and the main words must be said. If the microphone is blocked, she can tap the words in order (they stay silent). After three misses a grown-up can hold to pass.
