About
One word root a day. Sixty seconds. Type every word you know that holds it.
Today's root might be graph, "to write or draw." Photograph counts. So do telegraph, biography and calligraphy. The rarer the word, the more it scores: photograph earns three points, sphygmograph earns fourteen.
HOW IT WORKS
• One root a day, the same for everyone, and free.
• Type every English word that contains it before the clock runs out.
• Rarer words score more, and long words earn extra.
• Then see every word you missed, each with a plain definition.
LEARN AS YOU PLAY
• Every word shows how it's built: calli + graph + y, "beautiful handwriting."
• Lookalikes are explained, not just rejected: reward holds "ward" but grew from something else.
• Save the words you want to keep in your word bank.
PLAY YOUR WAY
• 60-second, 90-second or untimed rounds, all free.
• A streak and a week at a glance, plus a Home Screen widget with today's root.
• Share your score without giving away a single word.
