Spot the
real definition.
Spot Check is the daily UX vocabulary game. Each round shows a term and a definition — your call whether they really match. Ten in a row, one wrong ends the run. Free, in your browser.
How one judgment works
Does this definition fit?
Affordance
“A visual or physical cue that suggests how an element can be used — like a raised button that looks pressable or an underlined word that looks clickable.”
Correct
One call — the real definition, or a plausible fake?
Spot Check in numbers
Calls per run — sudden death
Ten calls, back to back. Miss one and the run is over — so all ten is the only goal.

Your streak, today's score, and one term to carry with you.

Play once a day and your streak climbs. Miss a day and it resets — the habit is the whole game.
A minute a day
One run is quick — a small daily ritual, like a crossword for your UX vocabulary.

Good to know
Yes — no account, no key, nothing to install. It plays entirely in your browser.
The ten terms are seeded by the date, so everyone gets the same run each day. That is what makes scores worth comparing.
The run ends — it is sudden death. But you will see what the term actually meant, and it comes back in practice so you learn from the miss.
Yes. Every call feeds lightweight spaced repetition, resurfacing the terms you miss until they stick — the same system behind the glossary flashcards.
The daily run is once a day, but Endless practice plays exactly the same way with no limit, leaning on the terms you keep missing.
The same 199-term UX glossary that powers the rest of uxspot.io — so nothing here is made up.
