Vocab Forest is a completely free vocabulary app designed for GRE prep. No sign-up. No ads. Completely free. Instead of dropping thousands of words on you at once, Vocab Forest gives you a clear plan for what to learn each day, when to review, and which words need more practice. Every 10 words you master plants a new tree in your forest. As your vocabulary grows, so does your forest—turning your progress into something you can actually see. 【START WITH THE WORDS THAT MATTER MOST】 Vocab Forest includes 3,200 carefully selected GRE words, organized into Core, Advanced, and Extended stages based on their value for the exam. No overwhelming word lists. No wondering where to start. Begin with the words that matter most and gradually build your vocabulary from there. 【YOUR DAILY STUDY PLAN, AUTOMATICALLY ORGANIZED】 Set your goal and how many words you want to learn each day, and Vocab Forest builds your daily study plan automatically. New words to learn and old words to review are already organized for you. Just open the app and complete today's session. 【REVIEW AT THE RIGHT TIME】 Not every word needs to be reviewed equally often. Words you struggle with return sooner, while words you know well are reviewed at longer intervals. Spend less time repeating what you already know and more time on the words you haven't fully mastered. 【UNDERSTAND WORDS, DON'T JUST RECOGNIZE THEM】 Each word includes: • Clear definitions • Common GRE meanings • Example sentences • Synonyms • Word roots and etymology • Curated memory tips • Audio pronunciation Understand where a word comes from and why it means what it means, then reinforce it with examples and memory techniques. 【WATCH YOUR VOCABULARY GROW】 Every 10 words you master plants a new tree in your forest. As you learn more words, your forest gradually grows with you. Your progress becomes more than a number—it becomes a forest you've built word by word. 【MORE FEATURES】 • Save difficult or important words for later review • Track your daily study streak • Switch between English and Chinese • Study completely offline 【SIMPLE, PRIVATE, AND DISTRACTION-FREE】 No sign-up. No ads. Completely free. Your learning progress stays on your device. No personal learning data is collected. GRE vocabulary is available now. SAT and TOEFL vocabulary are coming soon. Whether your exam is three months away or just three weeks away, you can start today. Learn a little every day. Remember a little more. And grow a vocabulary forest of your own.

明明昨天刚背过,但今天又忘了。 如果这句话让你有点破防…… 那欢迎来到喵呜单词 (认真喵头) 这是一个被背单词折磨过的人做出来的产品。 真的。 以前背单词的时候,总会遇到一些让人抓狂的瞬间: • 背了很多遍,再看到单词的时候还得磨磨叽叽英译中 • 考试时只记得一个释义,换个语境就傻眼了 • 会认,但一写就错 • 单词明明见过,却怎么也想不起意思 后来发现,问题可能不是不够努力。 而是很多背词软件,都在帮我们「认识单词」。 却很少帮我们真正「记住单词」。 所以喵呜单词做了一件很简单的事: 让同一个单词,用不同方式一次又一次地出现。 -看到它 -想起它 -选出它 -写出它 直到它慢慢变成【条件反射】。 #一个单词,4种方式反复强化记忆: 【单词闪卡】 3秒必须反应,速刷单词超好用 【听写训练】 光看不写,还不够。 单词必须亲手写才能记得牢 【词义多选】 一个单词,不止一个意思。不选对不罢休。 提前见过它的不同面孔,考试的时候就不会慌。 【连连看】 边玩边学,越背越上头 等回过神来, 已经记住好几十个单词了 ...... 如果有一天。你在考场上看到一个单词。 不用费力回忆。 答案自己就蹦出来了。 那喵呜应该会开心地喵一声~ 因为这就是它被做出来的原因。 背一次,真的记住。
