AI Summary
This educational article explains neuroplasticity in the context of word games. It discusses "Orthographic Mapping" (how we store words in memory). Daily practice strengthens the connection between letter shapes and sounds, improving overall reading speed and vocabulary recall.
AI Highlights
- Active Recall: Much harder than passive reading. You have to retrieve the word.
- Pattern Speed: You stop seeing "T-H-E" and start seeing "THE".
Training Your "Lexical Access"
When you play daily, you are greasing the gears of your vocabulary retrieval system. Words come to the tip of your tongue faster.
Seeing the Invisible
You start noticing anagrams and patterns in street signs and menus. It turns the world into a word game.
