Description

Make building your vocabulary fun and simple with WordPal. WordPal is a useful app that can be used to improve your English vocabulary, whether it be to help you sound more intelligent, directly in exams, in word games such as Scrabble or Boggle, with creative writing or anything else. The simple, clean interface allows you to concentrate on learning and progressing swiftly, without any annoying distractions. The app uses a special algorithm centred around the scientifically proven approach of spaced repetition to determine which words you aren’t so confident with, allowing it to prioritise the order in which words are served. This allows you to quickly learn new words and grow your English vocabulary whilst also reinforcing the meaning of words that you already know. The selected words are based on their frequency in the English language in its everyday use, meaning that you are learning words that you don’t know while still being able to use these words every day - there would be no point in learning words you would never use, see or hear! After downloading the app, you will be able to enjoy the many features WordPal has to offer for free: - Pick the synonym of the word given
