A person with severe memory loss needs a cognitive activity that works with their remaining abilities, specifically the ability to distill sentences into key words, but existing word games rely too heavily on memory and recall.
Traditional word games require recalling old vocabulary, facts, or holding numbers in working memory, which are impaired in dementia. The new game avoids memory load by keeping all words visible and focusing on selection rather than recall.
