The Take is a daily habit for medical students and clinicians withfour bite-size puzzles that make revision feel like a game.
It's completely free. Every game, every day with no subscription, no paywall, nothing to unlock.
Every day at midnight you get a fresh set:
• Diagnosis — crack the case from unfolding clues, Wordle-style.
• Connections — group the medical terms by their hidden link.
• Wordle — find the medical word.
• Spot Diagnosis — name the finding from a real clinical image.
Why people keep coming back:
• A quick daily ritual — most days take just a few minutes.
• Streaks that reward showing up, with a freeze to cover a missed day.
• Leaderboards via Game Center; compare with the UK board and your friends.
• A short teaching note after every puzzle, so you actually learn something.
• Share your result grid without spoiling the answer.
The Take is designed for UK and Commonwealth medical students, but anyone brushing up on clinical knowledge will feel at home.
Educational use only — The Take is a learning game, not medical advice, and must never be used to diagnose or treat real patients.
Terms of use: the standard Apple Licensed Application EULA applies — https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Fixes and a much bigger Diagnosis list:
• Diagnosis now recognises around five times as many conditions, across every specialty — the diagnosis you reach for should be there.
• Suggestions find a condition from any word in its name, with the likeliest match first.
• A broader but still correct answer (say, "Glaucoma" for acute angle-closure glaucoma) now counts.
• Fixed the app appearing to close after finishing a first game.
