WordsHow to play
Read the English word, then tap its correct meaning from the four choices before the timer runs out. Harder levels draw from a larger word pool, so the distractors get closer in meaning.
Strategies that raise your score
- Use word roots. A prefix like "un-" or "re-" and a suffix like "-ful" narrows the meaning fast.
- Eliminate the obvious wrong. Cross off choices that contradict the word's tone or register.
- Lean on context. Even without knowing a word, its length and familiar part can hint at the sense.
- Build a streak. Consecutive correct answers multiply your points, so pace yourself.
Common mistakes
Guessing the longest or most formal option. The right meaning fits the word's exact sense, not its grandest synonym.
A small daily session here stores words in long-term memory far better than a single long cram.
