You’re searching for the name of a flower. It’s on the tip of your tongue. You know it starts with “am…” What is it?

The brain area exercised in this Splitwords game is the left temporal lobe, which gets activated when information retrieval is called upon. Splitwords helps you practice to quickly retrieve words from your language repertoire. Each syllable can be seen as a phonetic cue that facilitates word retrieval. So, think in syllables!

So as quickly as possible, form 15 complete words by combining syllables from the game table.  Watch out, each syllable can only be used once!  All words belong to the category Fruit & Vegetable.
