Most long English words are built from Latin and Greek parts. Learn the parts, and you can work out words you have never seen. Rootwise teaches one root a day. SPECT means "to look". Now inspect, spectator and retrospect make sense, and so does circumspect: careful, looking all around before acting. FIND YOUR NUMBER - A 2-minute placement test estimates how many words you already know - Fake words in the test catch guessing, so the estimate stays honest - One number to grow: the words you can decode LEARN A ROOT, DECODE A WORD - Each root comes with words you already know, so it sticks - Then decode new words from their parts and pick the right meaning - Every answer shows the real definition and an example sentence - Missed words come back in spaced review SEE THE FAMILY - The roots map shows every root and the words it unlocks - Trap words: look-alike roots with different origins, like PED (child) and PED (foot) - Share a card with your word count BUILT FOR - SAT, GRE and GMAT verbal prep - English learners who want to read faster - Anyone who wants to sound sharper at work PREMIUM - Every root is free to learn - Premium unlocks the last word of every root: 209 roots and 1,300+ words - $1.99/week or $3.99/month, no free trial, cancel anytime Your progress stays on your device.
