Do you know your compound words?

Word Game: Compound Words

HOW TO PLAY

You will get two words on the screen that together creates a new (compound) word. Your task is to decide whether there should be a space (Open) or no space (Closed) between the words.

By clicking near the words, you will enter the main menu.

SIMPLE GAME (GRAMMAR) RULE EXPLAINED

Compound words fall within three categories, and here we are focusing on two of them. Closed and open compound words.

Closed compound words (also sometimes called 'Solid compound words') are formed when two or more unique words are joined together without a space between them. Open compound words have a space between the words but when read together creates its own meaning, thus considered its own word. The third option is called hyphenated compound words, in which the words are separated with a hyphen (-).

Sometimes you can find the same word in more than one group, but this game is designed to contrast words that are in the open compound category versus the closed compound category.
