Train of Thought

Put scrambled paragraphs back in the right order by reading for the purpose of each line.

About this game

Strong RC readers track the purpose of each statement: setting up a view, conceding a point, pushing back on it, drawing a conclusion, etc. That sense of structure keeps a dense passage from turning into an impenetrable wall of text. This puzzle trains you to read for purpose.

How it works. Each round gives you a short paragraph with its lines scrambled. You move the loose lines until the paragraph makes sense. You must think about the purpose of each line in order to complete each round successfully. The challenge climbs across five levels: level one has one loose line, but level five asks you to reorder the whole paragraph.
