Phrase Break — Word-Reveal Phrase Board

A hidden phrase sits behind blank tiles under a category and clue. Players call letters to flip every match open; a miss costs a strike and the turn. Magenta vs Amber team play scores across rounds, while solo play gives one learner a fixed pool of guesses before the phrase locks. Optional turn timer, on-screen scoring, and full keyboard play. Ships as a blank, commented template.

Problem
Terminology and policy phrasing don't stick from a slide; learners need to reconstruct the exact wording themselves.
Who it helps
Facilitators reinforcing key terms, policy language, or process phrases — two teams head-to-head or one learner against the clock.
In training
Call letters to reveal a hidden phrase under its category and clue; teams trade turns and bank points across rounds, or a solo learner races to solve each phrase before the strikes run out.
Skills shown
Front-end build, reveal and turn/scoring logic, retrieval-practice design, trainer-editable template.

How to edit

  1. Right-click the file → “Open with” → a text editor.
  2. Scroll to the banner ★ EDIT YOUR ROUNDS HERE ★ near the top of the script.
  3. Each round has a category, a clue, and the phrase to hide — letters become tiles, spaces split words, punctuation shows automatically.
  4. Save, then open in a browser. Set the solo guess pool, turn timer, or sound on the start screen.
