For many students, gaming is an important form of extramural exposure, and it would be helpful to better understand which types of games are most useful. Lestari (2019:14) argues that Kahoot is a popular e-learning tool that can be easily used to provide metacognitive support, classroom vibrancy and student presence in higher education where teacher and student training is limited. Kahoot is an example of educational software that uses game-based pedagogy and allows for the creation of online questionnaires, discussions, or exams, as well as student collaboration on research topics.
Using the Kahoot application, multiple choice questions can be formulated in debate format and played with all students. Students in the Kahoot application press a button for the correct answer to a question prepared in advance and projected onto the board using an internet-enabled device. The video can be edited directly with the video clipping feature so that only the necessary part is recorded.
When students answer a question, Quizizz automatically displays a meme to show whether their answer is correct or not. Rahayu and Purnawarman say the Quizizz app is a game-based educational program that integrates classroom activities and games to help students have a fun learning experience. The teacher can monitor the process and upload a summary at the end of the test to assess student progress.
From the explanation, we can conclude that Quizzz is an education program with amazing features like memes, music, avatars and themes to grow. The teacher can see the students' quiz result in the report and download it as a guide to give feedback to the students. The Quizizz app is an efficient way to improve students' skill acquisition and reduce their learning anxiety.
Quizizz is an online game-based tool that allows students to assess their understanding and advance their learning. While contestants answer questions in the live quiz mode, there is a live dashboard to see what is going on in the game. Quiz can give motivation to the students because the students have to make the game based on the time that has been set by the teacher.

The differences with my research are the object of the study, the technique of data collection and the method of teaching vocabulary. The second study was conducted by (Dita and Badrah Zaki (2022)) “The Effects of Scramble Game in Improving Students Vocabulary at Seventh Grade Students of Muhammadiyah Plus Batam.” The study is about teaching vocabulary to seventh grade students of Muhammadiyah Plus Batam Junior High The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the Scramble game on improving students' vocabulary.

The contribution of this study is used as the reference to my research that through the implementation of scrambe game in learning can improve students' vocabulary mastery. The differences are the methodology of the study that uses Classroom Action Research (KAR), the population and sample of the study.
The third study was conducted by Sakinah (2022) "The Use of Scramble Word Game on Student's Vocabulary." The purpose of this study is to look at the effects of scrambled word games on students' vocabulary mastery. The author uses a pre-experimental method and a one-group pretest-posttest design in this study. The contribution of this study is the use of research design which uses experimental quantitative.
The differences between this study and my study are the object, example, and technique of teaching scramble games using the Quizizz application.
Conceptual Framework
After calculating the data, the mean difference is 12.6, and the total deviation of the difference is 764.4.

The researcher gave 20 questions as the pre-test and post-test using media, Quiziz application. When collecting the data, the researcher must have method to collect data that is appropriate with the need of research. In this study, there were several procedures used by the researcher in collecting data, such as;.
The researcher rearranged the words, drag and drop vocabulary given to the third grade students of SMP Gajah Mada with two classes, first group as experimental group and the second group as the control group. After the students did the pre-test, they were given treatment by applying scramble game using Quiziz application in students' learning.

The researcher used a document that contains data from the school, such as the total number of students, teachers, and the condition of the school. To determine the effect of the treatment, the pre-test and post-test results were analyzed using the t-test formula.
Explain the significance of differences in the mean score. 6. Check the significances using the t-test. When analyzing the data between the experimental group and the control group, the researcher used the T-test formula as follows: When scoring the test, the researcher used the score ranging from 0 – 100 by reviewing the score from the quiziz application reports.
There was the accuracy, correct number, points, so the researcher saw the score of the students of accuracy. This means the researcher did not have to count the score again, but could be seen directly. To measure the validity of the test, the researcher gave the test to the students.
