Ten words and all seven games, so a full pass takes a minute. Warp Run rewards knowing them cold, which is the point: a question word you have to stop and think about arrives too late to be useful.

Questions
Onde, aonde or de onde?
Onde você mora? is where do you live. Aonde você vai? is where are you going. De onde você é? is where are you from. English leans on where plus a preposition; Portuguese folds the preposition into the word.
Por que or porque?
Two words to ask, one word to answer. Por que você veio? is why did you come, and porque eu quis is because I wanted to. There is also porquê, a noun meaning the reason, and por quê at the end of a sentence.
