This is a really good way to increase your vocabulary! That said, there are more than a few times where one wonders if someone actually uses a certain word that ends in an “-iest” suffix or not; to make the word into a comparative, for example? I’m trying to not spoil some of the other grammatical forms that some words will take on occasion. And one minor gripe is that the game won’t give you the points for using an American spelling of a word instead of the British spelling, like “realize” instead of “realise.” But that does add to the challenge, so it’s fair. There are some of those instances where the words are spelled quite differently between the two versions, and that is a little more frustrating. At least all words have a definition that is readily available when one presses the “define word” button, although some of the obscure words are not always clearly defined, i.e., it uses the same word in the definition as the word you’re trying to get an explanation for! Also used — and this is both good and bad — are scientific, botanical, geographical, and other words used in various specialty niches, which is where you can increase your vocabulary, and lose the game. But then the game isn’t much of a challenge, is it? Five stars for layout and simplicity; four stars for some questionable word usages and variant spellings and sometimes wacky definitions. But thanks for making this game!

Come on ...using words based on HINDI not even in the Dictionary or Olde English not in use for hundreds of yes!!. Also they make up words that have a base in english as a verb or adjective but do not exist in another form ie adverb, etc like "scrupling" from scruples :(

I can tell when there is a change in either who creates the words list or that, at the very least, there is a change. Months ago this was a great way to wake up my mind in the morning. Then word usage changed to such specific choices of a particular bush found only in southern Australia or the particle found in the skin....etc. Currently the app creator claims to have “cleaned up” the word choices. Well, yes....word choice has changed. “Outridden” is technically a word but it seems they want to trick users instead of providing solid word choice. People with good vocabularies are put off when they get zero scores by not knowing words that are not used in normal, verbal discourse as relates to English speaking users.
