Set the Clock

Read a time in words and digits, then drag the hands of a big clock to show it: o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. Three levels; it checks itself.

How to play

Pick Easy (whole hours), Medium (whole and half hours) or Hard (quarter past and quarter to as well). Drag the long minute hand around; the short hour hand moves along, just like on a real clock. The short hand can be dragged too. On letting go the clock snaps to the nearest step and checks itself. After a wrong try, Show me turns the hands to the answer. On a keyboard, the arrow keys move the minute hand and Enter checks.
