Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TCOLE vocabulary game free?
Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How do the TCOLE vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 TCOLE terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the TCOLE terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the TCOLE passing score?
The general TCOLE minimum passing percentage is 70 unless another rule provides otherwise. For the peace officer licensing exam, the 2025 Proctor Manual lists 250 questions and 180 minutes, so candidates often think of the target as at least 175 correct answers out of 250.
How hard is the TCOLE exam?
TCOLE does not publish one single statewide pass-rate figure for all candidates in the exam metadata sources used here. The exam is challenging because it blends Texas Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, arrest/search/seizure, traffic, patrol, investigations, force options, communications, and emergency-response judgment.
