Start training — freeWhy train this
Locating a known word in prose is the bedrock of skimming and scanning — the modes you'll lean on for reference reading, study, reviewing your own notes, or finding the relevant passage in a long article. It's reading mode you use more than you think.
How to do it
A short passage appears with a target word. Tap every occurrence of the target before the countdown ends. The result shows how many you found and how many wrong taps you made.
- What it trains:

Like every Tachi drill, this is structured practice: you get better at the drill task itself, while evidence that such exercises carry over to everyday reading speed is weak. See what to expect, honestly.
