See how much effort each sound costs you

This game listens to you say a word, then shows you how much effort each sound cost you. Every sound in the word gets its own slot — and each slot lights up based on what it detected:

🟢
Green = easy
Sound came out smooth with low pressure
🟡
Amber = moderate
Some tension detected — you're working a bit hard
🔴
Red = high pressure
Blocking or repeated attempts — the slot will shake

How it works: Pick a word below, tap Start, then tap Speak and say it. Each sound slot will light up in sequence as you go — blue flash means it passed, red shaking means it caught extra effort. When you're done, try it again and aim for all green.

The goal isn't to be loud or perfect — it's to be easy. Less effort = better score. Start with a word you're comfortable with and build from there.
