WordKare

Learn English with crosswords

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Learn words while you solve crosswords: stepwise hints, ready-made pronunciation for A1–A2 words, and typed recall in Study. WordKare helps you grow your English vocabulary by solving crosswords. Clues are short, simple English definitions or sentences, and every answer is an English word. Each square makes you think about what a word means and how to spell it. HOW IT WORKS • 1,200+ crosswords and 3,900+ words across five levels, A1 to C1 • C1 · Academic covers the vocabulary core shared by IELTS, TOEFL, YDS and YÖKDİL — the words, not test tactics: there are no practice exams or score claims • A short 15-word placement test at the start; daily puzzles are picked for your level • On iPhone and iPad, with landscape and portrait on iPad • Type letters with the app's own keyboard, built for crosswords • The check button marks wrong letters • C1's 9×9 puzzles stay closed on small phones such as the iPhone SE; the 7×7 ones are open WHEN YOU GET STUCK: STEPWISE HINTS • Each press of the light bulb gives one more step: first the topic of the word (for example food or animal), then another clue for the same word, then the first letter, and last a revealed letter • The first two steps are free; a word you find with help comes back sooner in your word list MAKE WORDS STICK • Every word you solve is saved to your list, with its meaning, part of speech, level, example sentence and definition • Study asks you words again at different intervals based on your answers, and you practice by typing the English word from memory • The question format changes: type from the meaning, complete the sentence, or listen and type • Words that never appear in a puzzle can be learned with new-word cards • Every card tells you why it is being asked now • A1 and A2 words are read with pre-generated recordings (AI-generated US English); other words use your phone's voice. A word you find is read right away, and you can turn that off with the sound button on the puzzle screen HABIT • Daily streak, grown as a chain of tiles, and a daily goal • Streak protection: miss a day and your streak is safe • Badges and statistics PRIVACY • Works offline • No ads · Account optional: to sync your progress between devices • Your progress stays on your device; optionally turn on achievements and leaderboards (off by default, Game Center) If you spot a wrong clue or a word that is pronounced wrong, report it from the ••• menu on the puzzle screen.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Hints now go step by step: first the topic of the word, then another clue, then the first letter. • A1 and A2 words are read with pre-generated pronunciation recordings; a word you find is read right away, and the sound button on the puzzle screen turns it off. • Review is now Study: complete the sentence, listen and type, new-word cards, and a "why today?" line on each card. • A word found with help no longer counts as "known" and comes back sooner. • Example sentence and definition on the back of the word card. • 1,250 puzzles, 3,942 words. In C1 only the 9×9 puzzles are closed on small phones.
