Word Lock: Vocabulary Builder
Lock Screen Vocabulary Builder
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases
iPhone
Turn every app you open into a vocabulary lesson. Learn new words daily, build your lexicon, and impress everyone around you with a sharper vocabulary.
Word Lock is the vocabulary builder that actually works, because it meets you where you already are: opening your apps.
Every time you try to open a distracting app, Word Lock shows you a vocabulary flashcard first. So you have to learn the word before you can unlock the app. So every time you tap to "doom scroll" you learn a new word.
Whether you're prepping for the SAT, trying to be more articulate, or just tired of reaching for the same five adjectives, Word Lock turns wasted scrolling into real vocabulary growth.
WHY WORD LOCK WORKS
Impress your friends, family, coworkers, and that person you're trying to win over. A sharper vocabulary makes you sound more confident, more credible, and more interesting in every conversation, email, presentation, and first date. People notice the way you speak. Word Lock makes sure what they notice is good.
