## What is Lexicon?

Lexicon Daily is a vocabulary app for people who love words.

No ads. No manipulative streaks. No notifications screaming for attention. Just words worth knowing, drawn from the way real writers use them.

Every word is chosen by hand — not by algorithm, not by AI. Each entry includes a definition, IPA pronunciation with audio, an example sentence, and real literary citations from poets, novelists, and essayists from Hopkins to Whitman to Shakespeare.

WORD OF THE DAY
A new word every morning, delivered with care. No quiz gates, no ad walls — just the word, waiting for you.

THEMED BROWSING
Words grouped by mood and meaning across 12 themes:
• Inner Weather • Love & Longing • Time & Memory
• Solitude & Stillness • Wonder & the Sublime • Light & Shadow
• Other People • Character • Movement
• Words for Words • Nature & Weather • Knowledge & Craft

SPACED-REPETITION PRACTICE
Save words and practice with gentle flashcards. The schedule adapts to how well you know each word. Rate honestly — there is no punishment for forgetting.

WORD GAMES
Test yourself with definition-matching challenges. A calm, literary alternative to quiz-show vocabulary apps.

SAVED LISTS
Create custom lists — "For my novel", "Words from Annie Dillard", "Untranslatable" — and add words from anywhere in the app. Lists sync across your devices.

STOP SAYING COLLECTIONS
Discover richer alternatives to overused words. Stop saying "sad" — try melancholy, wistful, forlorn, plaintive.

WRITING PROMPTS
Creative prompts tied to each theme. Use the word of the day as a starting point for your own writing.

738 CURATED WORDS
Every word vetted for quality and appropriateness. No vulgar surprises, no AI-generated filler. A corpus that grows slowly and deliberately.

DESIGNED FOR READING
Newsreader serif for body text, Inter for chrome, full Dynamic Type support, dark mode, accessibility-first navigation. Lexicon feels like a book, not a feed.

LEXICON PLUS
