How do I play?
Hold the phone in landscape, screen facing you. Tip it forward when you know the word and it moves on. Tip it back for Not sure — you’ll see the definition for two to five seconds (choose on the home screen), and the word comes round again later in the round.
The tilt isn’t registering
Hold the phone still for a moment at the start of a round: that’s when it learns your resting angle, and it works from that rather than from level. If tilting still isn’t working, tap Can’t tilt? Use tap mode on the ready screen and play with the buttons instead.
How do I hear a word, or get a hint?
Tap the word to hear it read aloud. Press and hold the word for a hint — the root and origin. Words you took a hint on are shown separately at the end and don’t count toward your score.
On iPhone, speech follows the silent switch. If you hear nothing, check the switch on the side of the phone.
Can I use my own word lists?
Yes. New list → paste your words. Tabs, commas, dashes, colons, or word-then-definition on alternating lines all work; it detects the format. Numbered and bulleted lists are handled too. Use Export on any list to copy it back out as text.
For 360 common school and test words, the new card fills itself in: a hint about the word’s roots, its prefixes and suffixes, and several example sentences. This happens when you create the list, so lists made before version 1.0.2 stay as they were.
How many lists can I make?
Three of your own, up to 40 words each, free. The built-in decks don’t count toward that. Unlimited Lists is a single purchase, not a subscription, and raises the limit to 50 lists of up to 1,000 words. If you reinstall or change phones, tap Restore Purchases on the Unlimited Lists screen, which opens when you tap + New list with three lists already made.
Where is my data?
On your device, and nowhere else. There are no accounts and no servers, so your lists and progress don’t sync between devices. They are included in your normal iPhone backup, so restoring a new phone from a backup restores them. See the privacy page.
I removed a built-in list by mistake
Built-in lists are hidden rather than deleted. Scroll to Removed on the lists screen and tap Restore. A list you created yourself is deleted for good, so export anything you want to keep.
Something looks wrong in a definition
