## What is Wordseed?

Most vocabulary apps hand you a list. Wordseed does the opposite: you type in the words you actually met — in a book, a meeting, a song — and brings each one back right before you'd forget it.

FIVE WORDS A DAY. THAT'S THE POINT.
Wordseed caps new words at five a day on purpose. Add fifty tonight and in two weeks you'll open a 200-card queue and quit. Five a day is 1,800 words a year, because it's small enough to survive a busy Tuesday.

YOU WRITE THE MEANING, NOT A DICTIONARY
Every card is three things you type yourself: the word, what it means in your own words, and a sentence you'd actually say. Copied definitions don't stick — your brain files them as someone else's.

THE SAME WORD GETS HARDER OVER TIME
Wordseed tracks how strong each memory is and picks the exercise to match. You never pick a difficulty:
- Week 1 — just recognise the word
- Week 3 — drop it into a sentence, with the ending changed
- Month 2 — write your own sentence using it
- Month 4 — write a paragraph using it alongside other words you've mastered
A card only ever climbs one level per review, so nothing arrives before you're ready.

SCHEDULING THAT ISN'T GUESSWORK
Wordseed runs FSRS, the open-source spaced repetition algorithm. Nothing is hidden: every card tells you how likely you are to still remember it, and Stats shows your streak, a 12-week heat map, and a day-by-day log.

AI THAT CHECKS YOUR SENTENCE
Write a sentence, tap Check with AI, and find out whether it actually works — and if a native speaker would say it differently, what they'd say instead. The explanation comes back in your native language, so the correction never gets lost in translation.

YOUR WORDS STAY YOURS
No preset packs. No word is ever locked behind a paywall. If you stop paying, every card you added stays, stays reviewable, and keeps its full history. Reminders work on the free plan too — an app that puts your reminder behind a subscription isn't teaching you anything.

A NEW PASSAGE EVERY DAY
Not sure which words to learn next? Today's Read gives you one short passage a day, with a handful of academic words in it. Tap any word you don't know and it becomes a card — met in a sentence, doing a job, the way you'd meet it in real life.

ONE REMINDER A DAY, AT A TIME YOU PICK
Wordseed knows which words are due, so the reminder says something real: "12 words are ready." One a day, never two — and if you review today, tonight's doesn't arrive. Pick the hour, or let the app use the time you usually review.

FREE
- Today's Read, the daily passage
- 5 new words a day

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-09-29

This one is about playing with your own words.

NEW: WORD SPRINT
A two-minute game made from the words you added yourself. First
match each word to the meaning you wrote, then race 60 seconds to
pick the right word - the clues get harder as you get them right.
It never changes your review schedule, so play as often as you
like, and your best score follows you to every device. Find it on
Today when you have finished reviewing, at the top of Words, and
in Stats once you have played. It needs four words you have
already reviewed that are not due soon.

YOUR STORY
After a round, AI can turn the words you just played into a short,
funny story - drag each word into its blank. Your first story is
free. With Wordseed Pro, you get a new one every day. If a story
ever feels wrong, tap Report this story.

YOUR WORD LIST
Every word now has a listen button, in the list and on the card.
You can fix the spelling of a word without losing its review
history. Long words no longer get cut off.

MORE WORD IDEAS
Not sure what to add? The word ideas panel now has 96 words in 16
groups, with new everyday ones: home and chores, health, shopping,
friends and family.

PRIVACY
Our privacy policy now spells out what this version keeps: your
Word Sprint rounds and stories, your time zone, and the kind of
device you last used. We never sell it or use it for ads.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-14

This one is about seeing clearly - and about Wordseed starting where you already are.

A NEW LOOK, TOP TO BOTTOM
Wordseed has dark mode. Pick Light, Dark or Match my device from the account menu;
by default it follows your phone. Text opens larger than before, headings are
properly bold, and the pale grey labels that were hard to read outdoors are gone.

REVIEWS READ LIKE A DICTIONARY PAGE
The card is left-aligned with the word large at the top, and every block is
labelled - definition, meaning, similar words, often said with. A progress bar
shows how far into the session you are. Each answer comes back as a clear block:
green for right, amber for close, red for wrong, with a tick or a cross so you are
never reading colour alone.

ADDING A WORD TAKES ONE SCREEN
The input box is now the first thing on the Add tab instead of the eighth. Pasting
a list and reading today's passage each open as their own screen, so there is only
ever one main button in front of you - and going back never throws away what you
typed, not even the lines you pasted over today's limit.

NOT SURE WHICH WORD TO ADD?
The word ideas panel now stays with you for good. It used to switch itself off once
your deck passed a handful of cards, so long-time users quietly lost it. Tap a word
and it drops straight into the form.

WORDSEED NOW FITS WHAT YOU ARE LEARNING
Tap the words you already know. It takes about a minute, there is no score, and
nothing is right or wrong. From then on your daily reading passage and the order of
the word ideas follow the words you are actually holding onto. Profile has a new
panel for it, Words you're holding, which also shows how much of your own deck is
staying with you - free for everyone.

YOUR WORD LIST AT A GLANCE
Recall is grey while a word is safe, amber as it fades, red when it is nearly gone,
so a healthy deck finally looks calm. Topics carry a coloured dot instead of a solid
pill, and the word itself is now the biggest thing on the row.

EDITING A CARD
Opening a card puts the meaning first instead of four numbers, Save stays within
reach at the bottom of the screen, and every field has a visible name - so coming
back to an old card, you can still tell which box is which.

ALSO FIXED
Cards stuck on flashcards can be fixed again: the missing step now appears the
moment you open the card. About one card in seven that had been through AI had
quietly stopped getting its dictionary entry filled in - those are back in the
queue. Words with brackets or several words no longer arrive empty.

person reads it.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-27

Your first minute with Wordseed is different now.

BEFORE YOU EVEN SIGN UP
The home page runs a short demo review, then lets you make a card
from a word of your own. Sign up and that word is already waiting
in the app - you do not start from an empty screen.

SIGNING UP TAKES ONE STEP
No more waiting on a confirmation email. Wordseed now checks your
address for typos before creating the account - "yahoo.con" and
"gmial.com" get caught while you can still fix them, so a password
reset will actually reach you later.

CARDS SAY MORE
Every card can now carry its part of speech, pronunciation,
synonyms and common collocations, next to the meaning you wrote -
never instead of it. In a review they stay hidden until you have
answered, so they never hand you the word you are trying to recall.
The target word is now highlighted inside its example sentence.

CHOOSE HOW IT SOUNDS
Pick a UK or US voice in Profile. Wordseed picks the best voice
your device has, and on iPhone it will point you to a free
higher-quality voice you can download if one is missing.

WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO ADD
Seventy-odd word ideas across twelve everyday topics, rotating
with the season - the words, not the meanings, because writing the
meaning yourself is the part that makes it stick. There is also a
three-step guide that writes a prompt for ChatGPT, Claude or
Gemini and turns the answer into cards.

FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST PRO
Free accounts now get three AI suggestions to try, one full
synonym exercise, and a dictionary layer filled in automatically
on the words they add.
