About Rounds
Rounds is a daily puzzle study tool built by medical students, for medical students preparing for exams (USMLE, COMLEX, in-house and beyond).
The reasoning is simple: short, spaced-out practice beats cramming. Retrieving an answer from memory, rather than rereading it, is what makes it stick. A few minutes a day, every day, compounds.
The three formats hit different muscles: Arrows drills the cause-and-effect physiology that boards love to test, Connections trains you to see the category behind a list of look-alikes, and the Mini Crossword rewards precise vocabulary.
Miss a day? The archive keeps every past puzzle, and you can filter it by organ system, discipline, specialty, or difficulty to test exactly what you'd like to focus on.
