About

Pidginization

Read full description

Some people collect stamps. You collect words. Pidginization is the vocabulary builder for people who read with a pen in hand and secretly enjoy a good semicolon. Inside are 24 curated word lists — power words, pretentious words, money, law, mind, nature, and more — with 709 definitions and examples written by hand, on purpose, by a human who cared. Nothing scraped, nothing recycled from other dictionaries. A full offline dictionary of 147,000+ words travels with you, powered by WordNet 3.1 from Princeton University. Search works with inflections, so "ran" finds "run" and you never have to guess the root form. No signal required — read on the subway, on a plane, in the woods. Found a word you love? Tap once to save it to My Words. It slides straight into your review schedule, no setup, no folders, no fuss. Flashcards use Leitner spaced repetition to time each word's next appearance, so the ones you keep forgetting come back sooner and the ones you've nailed politely step aside. Quizzes — multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank — are built from your own vocabulary, not a generic bank. Daily streaks, review goals, and progress tracking keep the habit alive without turning your day into a chore. Five minutes is enough. Built for avid readers, writers hunting the exact word, students, and anyone grinding GRE, SAT, or general vocabulary prep. If you want words that actually stick — not words you recognize once and lose by Thursday — this is the app. WHAT YOU GET Curated lists: 24 themed collections, 709 original definitions and usage examples. Offline dictionary: 147,000+ entries from WordNet 3.1 (Princeton University), searchable anywhere. One-tap saving: any lookup becomes a study card instantly. Spaced repetition: Leitner-based flashcards that schedule themselves. Quizzes and streaks: test what you've saved, track what you've learned. Start with a 3-day free trial. Then $1.29/month or $12/year — roughly the price of one paperback you'd underline anyway. Download Pidginization and start hoarding words properly.
