What counts and what doesn't

There are two ways to play, and there is no switch between them — it depends on where you start. Tap something under the work or the tests, or pick an exercise in your village, and it counts: it is kept, the bars move, and the village grows. Go in through Free practice under the map and it does not: the problems are real, but nothing is recorded, and that is exactly what makes it safe to try any exercise, including one you have not unlocked yet. The activity and the charts on an exercise only ever show what was played the counting way. Exercises that count are free up to three a day; a Seat removes that limit — see Seats.
