RootWords - Root, not Rote! Choose a root, spin as many words as you can, and show you know their meaning. Don't know the word? Tap the parts (morpheme, not morphine!). Each part has a meaning and will help you learn the word. The more you play, the fewer times you will need to tap the parts. Great for the 5th and 6th grade vocab cliff, and helpful for English language learners and students working on vocabulary for tests. Free: Learn mode, every word. Test and Audio ($1.99 per month or $19.99 per year): hear every word and test yourself. Full Access ($5.99 per month or $59.99 per year): all games, Daily Streak, Custom List, and progress tracking.
