"A phone app that makes you feel good!" We hope you have a new found love for crossword puzzles and learn some beautiful words, block apps and quit doomscrolling along the way! Thank you for a wonderful review. Enjoy Word Lock
Reduce screen time and learn
So you will either break the impulse and not doom scroll as you take a moment to think of a word instead. Or you’ll learn the word (just tap hint!) and reward yourself with access to the apps you blocked for the set unlock duration.
You also learn a beautiful long word or phrase after each puzzle is complete. All of these get added to your word bank and you can tap on them to open a broader definition and history. Real learning!
Words categories are general knowledge, history, geography, people, science and more to come (so I hear).
Anyway, it feels like a perfect solution to quit doom scrolling and fix brain rot by hijacking the impulses into our advantage.
Working for me. That’s why I built it!
Enjoy Word lock.
Think before you scroll! Protect your beautiful brains!

Word Lock is full of beautiful words you probably know already and one's you'll love getting to know. The beauty is it gives you the chance to take a moment and think about an answer OR just use the hints to reveal the word to learn it. Words that use hints will come up again shortly in a new puzzle, but this time you'll know the answer! Letting you solve it yourself to get a clean sweep. You could use Word Lock without blocking apps to get the full value but the odd benefit of having the impulse to pick up brain rot apps is an opportunity to learn something new on the pathway there. As you build a habit you may juts prefer doing mini crossword puzzles instead of doomscrolling. That's the goal here. You are training focus and steadily fixing your brain. Crosswords have been around for over 100 years and have been the peoples favourite for challenging themselves and keeping sharp. By making them tiny and quick the challenge isn't as daunting as a full puzzle to attend to. You can fly through them each time. We really believe this is a way to protect your brain for the future. It's been tried and tested and is making REAL impacts to screen time and learning amazing words in the English language. You'll probably become a quiz master quicker than you think. This is the beginning of the journey. Enjoy Word Lock!
Simple app blocker that is actually helping me learn words

Thank you! Turning the impulse to pick up into a lesson is the trick. You can learn genuinely useful English words and block apps at the same time. That friction is what makes this so useful both ways to cut screentime and learn along the way. Thank you for using Word Lock!
