You may know many names yet type only a few before time expires. Rather than memorising unfamiliar stations immediately, change how you retrieve familiar names. These are game strategies, not claims about medical memory improvement.

Follow a familiar journey
Start with a regular stop and think of its neighbours. A commute or a place you often visit makes a useful group of names. There is no required order: move to another familiar segment if your memory stalls.
Use interchanges as connections
In whole-city mode, an interchange can prompt names on another line. The interchange itself still scores once. In single-line mode, names outside that line will be rejected, so check the answer range before changing your mental route.
Leave uncertain names for later
Enter short, certain names before spending time on a long or incomplete memory. Omit optional suffixes and bracketed subtitles. Guessing has no point penalty, but it consumes time that could be used for names you already know.
Treat duplicates as a cue
A duplicate message can remind you to move to another group of stations. Check the list briefly and continue. The game prevents duplicate scoring, so you need not remember every previous entry perfectly; focus on reducing repeated attempts.
Compare like with like
A whole city and a short line have different answer pools. Compare attempts on the same city and line, then expand your range. The result list can help you plan a different group of stations for your next round.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do wrong answers reduce my score?
No, but thinking and typing still use the remaining time.
Can an interchange score once per line?
No. The same name counts once; choose a new station next.
