Good, except when you open the ad you’re quickly greeted with an ad within seconds. At least give us a moment so we can read and absorb the word before you send the ad in. Would be better if it had etymologies too but that’s probably a big ask and beyond the scope of the app.
Not the best words
asdfg9999
I was disappointed by the words it was saying. The first one was trampoline, then magician, then elusive, which is a bit better and less known, but the last time it told me cosmic. I set it to be more and more advanced every day, and somehow cosmic is a word for the most advanced language? I’m trying to learn new words, not go back to elementary school. This is probably good for people who don’t know english, but not those who are native speakers and want to really enhance their vocabulary unfortunately.
Developer Response
Thanks for your review. We understand the frustration when the selected words don’t match the expected difficulty. We’re improving our level selection logic and expanding the word pool so the “advanced” setting consistently shows more challenging vocabulary in future updates.
Informative

Awesome little widget. Just wish there was more info available without using additional link such as the pronunciation . But the provided links have everything you could want. Best available for free.
Perfect

No personalizing, no questions, no tricks. It’s a straight up word of the day and even gives you the link to the oxford dictionary and to look it up or translate on google! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for!
- Daily Climb: a new word puzzle every day, the same for everyone. Find five words from their definitions, from B1 to C2, and share your score.
