Understanding contextual clues is one of several important aspects of learning the English language which learners need to master in achieving better reading comprehension. Get A Clue! - a word-card game, is developed to assist English educators to teach contextual clues joyfully and interactively. The word-card game is aimed to provide a meaningful experience for learners in enhancing their English lexicon. This word-card game is also aimed to facilitate language learning in effective and joyful ways by allowing students to interactively guess the meaning of the words, along with parts of speech and their etymology. Moreover, this word-card game also anticipates learners’ participation as it provides an interactive learning experience through gamification. A pilot study involving a group of diploma students was carried out to examine the potential of Get A Clue! in improving learners' vocabulary. The study's findings suggested that Get A Clue! would be helpful in boosting students' vocabulary learning in their English language classes.
