Roots: English Vocabulary Game
Word puzzle for TOEFL & IELTS
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: Word Drop, a falling-tile word game. Clear stages from A1 to C1 and TOEIC 600, ask Rooty (your AI coach) why you missed a word, and review before you forget.
Roots is a word game for people who have a test to pass and hate rote memorization.
Word tiles fall from the top of the screen. Tap the right meaning before a tile lands. Wrong or late answers pile up, and five in the pile ends the stage. Every stage is 10 words and takes about two minutes, so you can fit a round in on the train or before bed.
WHO IT IS FOR
- You are preparing for TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC, SAT, GRE, or a school exam
- You have tried flashcard apps and quit after a week
- You want vocabulary practice that feels like a game, not homework
WORD DROP: LEVEL-BY-LEVEL WORLDS
Five worlds take you from everyday basics (A1) to advanced vocabulary (C1). An additional world has 600 words for TOEIC vocabulary practice. Clear a stage to unlock the next, and earn stars, XP, and levels as you go.
ROOTY, YOUR AI COACH
Missed a word? Ask Rooty right from the results screen. Rooty explains how to remember it, gives another example sentence, quizzes you, and shows the word roots (in = "into", ject = "throw") when they help.
REVIEW THAT FOLLOWS THE FORGETTING CURVE
Every word you play is saved to your wordbook together with your correct and missed answers. Spaced repetition schedules words for regular review. Word Match lets you practice due words as a pair-matching game.
KEEP YOUR STREAK
Hearts, daily quests, and a streak counter keep you coming back. Rooty starts as a seed and grows into a tree as you level up.
ADD YOUR OWN WORDS
Handwrite any English word, and AI builds a card with the meaning, roots, an example sentence, and audio.
