One word answers and multiple correct answers

There are one-word descriptions of words. You can’t possibly accurately describe every word doing this. The definitions/answers need to be more elaborate and concise with more words.

Also, lot of these words seem like have more than one answer because the word is multifaceted. It’s like some of these are “trick questions.”

Some of the words don’t even have the most popular correct definition within the answers. Like the word “resolve” for example. The most popular definition of this word is to provide a solution or ending to something. There was no answer like this, so I felt like the answer “rewrite” was the most accurate to the most popular definition. I then see that the correct answer is to make a decision. Which I guess technically would be correct, but it’s a far less used definition of the word. It makes it feel as if this app was developed by foreign person that doesn’t fully understand English. Why wouldn’t you just include the most popular definition and not include trick words that are too close to that?

Its surprisingly affective, i complete a level, then come back to it a while later expecting to have forgotten everything but find that i still remember jt all.

It helped me improve my vocabulary

This app is 6 years old and it’s out dated

Like with Chat they definitely can write a better iOS app. Some of the sounding for flash cards does not work.
