A few useful answers.
How do tile slots and sound boxes work?
The board has space for up to five tiles. The mapping board has up to four boxes for the sounds you hear. A word does not have to fill them all. For example, fish has four letters and three sounds: f, i, sh.
Why are there two ow tiles?
The orange ow belongs to the vowel-team family, as in snow. The purple ow belongs to the diphthong family, as in cow. Use the word around it to choose the sound.
Are the board dots and card dots the same color code?
The board dots are all orange. Card dots follow the tile families. Keep each printed guide with its own color system.
Where are the recordings?
The sound pages currently give written cues. Audio recordings and the mapping demonstration video are not available yet.
