Three built-in decks — SAT, GRE and academic English — free and complete. Paste your own list and play it thirty seconds later. Works offline.
VocabKuizu is a vocabulary game you play with your hands.
Hold your phone up, read the word, and tip it forward when you know it. Tip it back for "Not sure" — you'll see the definition, and the word comes round again later while the answer is still fresh.
A round is fifteen words and about a minute. It feels like a game because your whole body is in it, not just your thumb.
HONEST SCORING
Most flashcard apps take your word for it. That's how you end up feeling ready and then blanking on the day. VocabKuizu counts only the words you knew on sight. Words you recovered on a second pass, or answered after a hint, are shown separately — useful to know, but they don't inflate your score.
EVERY WORD HAS A HINT
Press and hold any word to see its root and origin. "Obsequious" is Latin ob- (toward) plus sequi (to follow). "Egregious" is e- (out of) plus grex (flock) — standing out from the herd. Roots make words stick in a way definitions alone don't.
PASTE YOUR OWN LISTS
Typing fifty words on a phone keyboard is a hundred text fields, so don't. Paste a list and it works out the format — tabs, commas, dashes, colons, or word then definition on alternating lines. Numbered handouts and bulleted lists are handled too. It flags duplicates and anything too long to read before you save.

NO ACCOUNTS, NO TRACKING
There is no sign-up and no server of ours. Your lists and your progress live on your phone and go nowhere else. Studying works fully offline, on a plane or underground — only the one-off purchase needs a connection, and only when you make it. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party trackers.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
"Skip" is now "Not sure". It never skipped anything — tilting back shows you the definition and brings the word round again — so the button now says what it does.
New: Definition first. See the meaning and try to produce the word, which is recall rather than recognition, and closer to what using a word actually takes.
New: choose how long the definition stays up, from 2 to 5 seconds. Two was enough to recognise a word you half-knew and far too little to read one you had never seen.
Also: the results screen reads in portrait again. Creating a list now tells you what it still needs instead of leaving the button silent. And if you hold the phone at an angle where a tilt cannot register, the app says so instead of appearing broken.
