A useful example
PLANT seen earlier in the same round requires Seen before. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
A word from an earlier round does not count as seen now. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
