New: Deep Dictionary gives every word full definitions, examples, and phrases. Plus three new games: Listening Cast, Collocation Workshop, and Context Detective.

You can study word meanings in your preferred language, review daily words, explore the Word Atlas, practice sentence lessons, and write with a built-in 850-word ratio checker.
Key features:
- Daily word sets for steady review
- Word Atlas for the full 850-word system
- Sentence Club with structured practice scenes
- Play modes for opposite words and sentence sense
- Writing Sandbox with core-word analysis
