What's New in Glosso
5.23
October 19, 2026
More challenge in Glosso! • Write your words: once a word feels familiar, Glosso has you write it, with tiles, on the keyboard or by dictation. A missing accent is forgiven. • Difficulty grows with you: a word you get right comes back later in a harder exercise; a word you miss comes back the very next day. • "I already know it": on a new word, pass the challenge and it won't come back for a month. • Tougher questions, both ways: from the language you're learning into yours, and from yours into it. • Japanese: show kanji, kanji with kana above, or kana only. Romaji can be hidden. • Word of the Day widget: no more words that are the same as in your language. Coming soon: a complete redesign of Glosso. Thanks for all your feedback, it shaped this release!
