How to Play Hoop Token
Read the Board
The enamel destination board shows a sentence with a blank. The tokens below are the commonly confused choices.
Pick a Token
Drag the brass tablet that belongs in the sentence. You can also tap it so it flies toward the hoop, or press 1, 2, or 3.
Meet the Hoop
Drop the token in the moving ring. The right word stamps the board. The wrong word, or a hoop that leaves the window, costs a lamp.
Clear Ten Passes
Ten good catches win. Three misses end the run. Change Easy, Medium, or Hard any time; the box restarts.
Key Features
A Signal-Box Hoop
Brass tokens hang on the peg rack. A hoop slides along the night window. Drag the matching tablet into the ring before it leaves the box.
Read, Then Throw
Each pass shows a sentence with a blank. The tokens are look-alike words. A clean catch stamps the board. A miss, or a hoop that runs past, costs a lamp.
Confused Word Pairs
Easy uses everyday homophones. Medium adds affect / effect, farther / further, and other school pairs. Hard uses three close words such as their / there / they're.
Score, Streak, and Best
A clean pass starts at 100 and climbs by 50 with each streak. Ten passes win the run. Best score is saved per difficulty.
Frequently Asked Questions
What skill does Hoop Token practice?
Choosing the right word among commonly confused pairs and trios — dear / deer, affect / effect, their / there / they're — and fitting it into a sentence. That is middle-school vocabulary and grammar.
Do I need to drag?
Dragging into the hoop is the main move. A tap throws the token toward the hoop. Keys 1, 2, and 3 throw the first, second, or third token.
How does scoring work?
A correct catch is 100 points, plus 50 for each extra hit in a row. A miss resets the streak and costs a lamp. Best score is saved for each difficulty.
What happens if I wait too long?
The hoop keeps sliding. If it leaves the window before you drop a token, that pass is a miss.
Can I mute the sounds?
Yes. The speaker button sits in the HUD under the title and remembers your choice.
