Percent Patch: Patch the shield to the right value: percentages of an amount, then increases and decreases, then “what percent is it?”.
Equation Balance: The scales are level, so both sides weigh the same. Work out what one x-box weighs, from x + 3 = 8 up to x on both sides.

Words games

Word Stack: Read the clue, then stack the letters in order to spell the word. Spare letters join in as you level up.

Tense Shift: Move a sentence into another tense, from simple past to “will have”. The wrong options are the slips people really make.
Agreement Alarm: Pick the verb that agrees with the subject. Find the real subject first; the traps are the words in between.
