Abstract
The present invention relates to a game of skill requiring a user to match a predetermined set of characters. In one aspect of the invention, individual characters are displayed for a fixed period of time. An interface enables a user to select the correctly matching character within the fixed timeframe. In another aspect of the invention, each successive character in a series is displayed for a shorter period of time, further decreasing the likelihood the user will match the correct character. Indeed, one embodiment of the invention is implemented to aid children or illiterate individuals to read or spell. In another embodiment of the invention, the amusement game requires a user to match successive numbers within an increasingly smaller time frame.
