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 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 WV Electrician terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the West Virginia State Fire Marshal — Regulatory and Licensing Division content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.

Anyone who has failed a West Virginia electrician exam cannot get a reciprocal license.
