## What is Learner's Crosswords?

Would you like to improve your word recall speed while speaking or writing in English, and do it in a fun way? 
Learner's Crosswords is the perfect app for that!

Crossword puzzles, by their nature, make you think about the meaning behind every clue—just like in real-life English speaking or writing! 
Your brain starts with the meaning and tries to find the right word. 
This app mimics that process to help you boost your recall speed and vocabulary.

How It Works:

-Meaning First: Every crossword clue presents a clue entry with synonyms and definitions. You think about the meaning first, then try to find the word.
-Gradual Learning: Start with simpler puzzles and progress to more difficult ones as your vocabulary grows.
-Memory Reinforcement: Strengthen your memory by continuously connecting meanings with words. It's both effective and enjoyable. Repetition is minimal, but we intentionally included high-frequency words based on their occurrence in the English language for reinforcement.
-Supported clue languages: English, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Portuguese, Turkish and more

Features:

Thousands of Words: The app includes the 20,000 most commonly used words in English. Puzzles start easy and gradually become more challenging. Early puzzles focus on frequently used words and slowly transition to less common ones.
