  "finish": "Brilliant detective work! You used five context clues to unlock meaning.",
  "steps": [
    {
      "word": "dim",
      "say": "The attic was dim, so Mia raised the torch to see.",
      "question": "What does dim mean?",
      "card": "The attic was dim, so Mia raised the torch to see.",
      "choices": ["Not bright", "Very noisy", "Perfectly tidy"],
      "answer": 0,
      "good": "Yes—the torch is the clue. Dim means not bright.",
      "help": "Why did Mia need a torch?"
    },
    {
      "word": "inspected",
      "say": "Whiskers inspected the stone before stepping on it.",
      "question": "What did Whiskers do?",
      "card": "Whiskers inspected the stone before stepping on it.",
      "choices": ["Looked at it carefully", "Ran away from it", "Covered it with leaves"],
      "answer": 0,
      "good": "Exactly. Inspected means looked at carefully.",
      "help": "Think about what you might do before taking a careful step."
    },
    {
      "word": "concealed",
      "say": "The path was concealed beneath hanging moss.",
      "question": "What does concealed mean?",
      "card": "The path was concealed beneath hanging moss.",
      "choices": ["Hidden", "Widened", "Painted"],
      "answer": 0,
      "good": "Correct—the moss hid the path.",
      "help": "Could the children see the path beneath the moss?"
    },
    {
      "word": "route",
      "say": "The children followed the route shown on the map.",
      "question": "What is a route?",

      "choices": ["A path to follow", "A loud warning", "A secret name"],
      "answer": 0,
      "good": "Yes. A route is a path or way from one place to another.",

      "word": "decoy",
      "say": "The shiny coin was a decoy; the real clue was under the leaf.",

      "card": "The shiny coin was a decoy; the real clue was under the leaf.",
      "choices": ["Distracting them", "Rewarding them", "Lighting the room"],
      "answer": 0,
      "good": "You found it. A decoy distracts attention from the real thing.",
      "help": "The word real shows that the coin was not the true clue."
