## What is The observatory?

Every day, a new word waits for you at The Observatory.

Open the app, reveal the word of the day, and dive into its definition, real-world examples, and a surprising fun fact. Then take on the daily challenge, a sentence to judge, and earn bonus points if you get it right.

Save your favorites to personal Catalogs, track your streak, earn points to unlock new word categories, from Philosophy to Astronomy, Cinema, Videogames, Mythology, and more. Collect unique characters and rescue your streak when life gets in the way.

Points accumulate automatically each day as users interact with the daily word and complete challenges, no payment is required at any point.

The Observatory is for curious people who want to grow their vocabulary, one word at a time.
Available in English and Spanish. Free to download.
