Question 1

How do I play Root Word Detective?

Accepted Answer

A short Quranic verse is shown with one Arabic word highlighted in gold. Floating bubbles each contain a candidate English meaning. Tap the bubble that correctly translates the highlighted word to earn points and advance to the next round.

Question 2

How many rounds are in one game session?

Accepted Answer

Each session consists of 5 rounds. The questions are randomly chosen from a curated dataset of 10+ foundational Quranic words, so every session feels fresh.

Question 3

How is scoring calculated?

Accepted Answer

A correct answer earns +100 points. A wrong answer deducts −25 points (score never goes below 0). If you answer 3 or more questions correctly in a row, a ×1.5 streak multiplier activates, giving you +150 points per correct answer.

Question 4

What star rating will I get?

Accepted Answer

At the end of the game you receive 1–3 stars based on your final score: 3 stars for 400+ points, 2 stars for 200–399 points, and 1 star for 0–199 points. A 'Words Learned' recap shows every Arabic word and its meaning.
