Everything between seeing a word and owning it
WordEdge is built around one belief: vocabulary and pronunciation are the same problem. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Flip cards that hold a whole dictionary entry
The front is the word, its pronunciation and a tap to hear it. Flip it and you get every sense grouped by part of speech — not just the first definition someone wrote.
- Every sense the word has, not just the first definition
- Senses grouped by part of speech — noun, verb, adjective
- Inflection tables — plurals, tenses, comparatives — on the same card
- Examples folded away until you want them
- Swipe left and right through the deck; long-press to retire a word
- "Learn more" opens every sense full screen, one per slide
Asked in different ways, so you actually know it
A word you can only recognise is a word you cannot use. Review rotates through several question types, each testing a different direction of recall.
- Meaning: see the word, choose the definition
- Recall: see the definition, choose the word
- Listening: hear it, pick what you heard
- Spelling: type it letter by letter from the meaning and audio
- Cloze: fill the blank in a real example sentence
- Stuck? Skip it, or jump straight into the word detail
A score for every sound, not just the word
Record yourself and WordEdge lines your attempt up against the target pronunciation, phoneme by phoneme, and tells you exactly where it went wrong.
- Overall accuracy plus a score per phoneme
- Substitutions spelled out: you said /s/ where /θ/ belongs
- Missed and added sounds flagged separately
- Play your own recording back against the model
- A colourful listening glow so you know it is hearing you
Decks that match how you actually study
Nest groups as deep as you like — Languages › English › Exams › IELTS. Every group shows what is learned, learning, new and due right now.
- Curated lists adopt into your deck as their own folder
- Add words from the built-in dictionary as you meet them
- Per-word notes, practice history and pronunciation stats
- Practise pronunciation, learn or review any group
The quieter things that keep you going
Sound profile
A radar of your accuracy across every phoneme, built from every attempt you have made, with your weakest sounds called out.
Streaks and goals
Set a daily word goal and per-weekday reminders. The streak counts days you practised, not days you opened the app.
Built-in dictionary
Look up any word: senses by part of speech, inflection tables, examples, and one tap to save it into a deck.
Achievements
Small, honest milestones — first word, week warrior, every sound above 80% — that mark real progress.
