Matching words

In the Decodable Stages tab, the box on the right side can show matching words.

You cannot type in this box. Instead, Bloom adds a word there if it meets at least one of the following conditions:

It is a sight word in the current stage or a previous stage.
It is in a file or it was typed in the Words tab and uses only letters that have been introduced.

Matching words are cumulative. The number of matching words for each stage appears in the box label. Therefore, you should see a larger number as you click later stages.
