Blanks shows you a definition and four words. Drag the right word into the hole in the paper. Get it right and a tick appears; get it wrong and you try again. After every right answer, Blanks shows what all four words mean, so the wrong choices teach you something too. Hold any of them to look it up in the dictionary on your iPhone or iPad. • Over 8,000 English words, with definitions from WordNet • No repeats until you have seen the whole list; words you miss come back sooner • Drag the words, or switch to tapping them • Your best streak is kept • No ads and no account; your progress stays on your device Want more practice with the words you get wrong? More Blanks adds a review mode for your mistakes, a list of your recent words, and your progress. Word definitions from WordNet 3.0, Princeton University. The developer is not associated with WordNet or Princeton.

Flawed but it's Free

I enjoy this app, although the educated person will see the green check mark every time, it is a simple application, which at times makes you think, "I know the word, but I have never seen it defined in that way".It does repeat words answered correctly quite a lot (especially if you're playing it for more than 5 minutes) but the app is free, and I believe this application was designed for a simple, pick up here and there to review some simple unused vocabulary.

Just curious...
This could go to 4 or 5 stars but needs a bit more work. I like this concept. However, I've had this app for a couple of weeks and on at least 5 occasions, I've selected the correct word only to receive a red X. I then click the 3 incorrect words accumulating 3 more red Xes and finally return to my original - correct- answer and it is accepted. Meanwhile I've accumulated 4 BAD points. That's not right! That's a correctible bug, yes? Also, I think u should set this up as a game. Player can choose a 25, 50, 75, or 100 word game format. Perhaps u also let players choose game time length (2 - 5 - 10 minutes). And perhaps you even let player accumualate points (good and bad) Here's the important part, at the end of each game the player can choose to review all of the correct words and their definitions in the just completed game. Sometimes I choose the correct word only because I know that it's not one of the other three! But that really doesn't help me learn the word. Please keep working on this App. Thanks!

• After a right answer, see what all four words mean. Hold one to look it up in the dictionary. You can turn this off on the About screen. • Words no longer repeat until you have seen the whole list, and words you miss come back sooner. • Your best streak now shows on the About screen. • Cleaner word list: 34 definitions corrected and 6 names removed. • VoiceOver improvements.
