Stop memorizing. Start discovering!
Is memorizing word lists not working for your child?
WordPang is a word puzzle game where kids "discover" English words — not memorize them.
Type a letter, get color-coded feedback.
Green = right spot. Orange = wrong spot. Brown = not in the word.
Deduce, guess, solve — PANG!
You get there by working it out, not by memorizing it.
An English app a child opens on their own.
— That's the experience we set out to build.

DESIGNED FROM RESEARCH
--------------------
WordPang's learning design draws on the studies below. Any figures
mentioned are results reported in those studies — they are not
measurements of WordPang and are not a promise of your results.
Corrective feedback
Getting it wrong is part of learning. Color feedback guides the way.
(Related study: corrective feedback reported a large gain in retention —
Butler et al., Journal of Educational Psychology)
Spaced repetition
The same word comes back after growing intervals.
(Related study: spaced repetition reported higher vocabulary gains —
Nakata, 2015, Studies in Second Language Acquisition)
Adaptive difficulty
The app suggests your next level based on your win rate.
(Design basis: Flow Zone Theory, Csikszentmihalyi)
