Learn English vocabulary with the ease and satisfaction of playing a game. LexiDeck turns vocabulary practice into a clue-driven card-sorting game: match words with meanings, group related cards by their clues, take spelling challenges, then use smart review to reinforce words you have not mastered yet. Instead of scrolling through endless word lists, you match words with meanings, bring related cards together, clear the board, and enjoy the satisfaction of completing a round. Fit in a quick game whenever you have a few minutes and give your English a little time each day. 【Follow the clues and connect the words】 See Airport and think of passport, luggage, and ticket. Place words in familiar settings and discover how they relate as you match and group them. You remember not only what a word means, but also how it connects to a setting or theme, giving your memory another path to follow. 【Do not just recognize it. Spell it.】 Use spelling challenges to check whether you truly know each word. Move from recognizing a word on sight to spelling it without hints, strengthening your memory and turning learned words into vocabulary you can actually use. 【Smart review focuses on what is easy to forget】 LexiDeck uses your learning history to organize words you have not mastered yet. Words you mismatched or revealed for help return during review. After making progress, checkpoint reviews bring them back together so you can focus on what still needs work. 【From foundations to advanced vocabulary】 Choose a vocabulary deck for everyday learning, travel, exam preparation, or professional growth. Progress from A2 (KET) and B1 (PET) to Business English, GRE, SAT, and literary vocabulary at your own pace. When the word-card language is set to Simplified Chinese, LexiDeck also offers dedicated decks: Starter, CN High School Entrance, CN College Entrance, CET-4, CET-6, and CN Postgrad Entrance, supporting step-by-step practice from school English to exam preparation. 【A fresh theme every week】 Discover a limited-time theme each week and practice vocabulary in a new setting, giving you something new to look forward to whenever you open LexiDeck. 【Learn a little every day and see your progress】 Advance through the learning map, track your progress, and collect achievement badges that add a small reward to regular practice. See the connections. Spell the words. Remember them longer. Supported languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Indonesian.

Both Korean and English voices are supported. ■ Great for • Memorizing English words and sentences by listening and repeating • Replaying certification, college-entrance, or licensing exam summary notes • Practicing dictation while listening to pronunciation • Listening to your notes like an audiobook when your eyes are tired or you're on the move • Hands-free review before bed, during workouts, or on your commute ■ Features • Rich notes — organize key points cleanly with bold, highlighter, headings, and text colors. • Read aloud — play your notes with natural TTS voices. Play, pause, and jump to the previous or next note. • Word highlighting — the word being read is highlighted and the page auto-scrolls to follow along, so it's easy to keep your place. • Section repeat — long-press to select just the word or phrase you want to drill, and it loops only that part. The selected range is shown with a tint. • Repeat mode — repeat a single note, or play through and repeat your whole folder of notes. • Folders — sort notes by subject, topic, or date. • Voice, speed, and pitch — pick from the voices installed on your device and tune the playback speed and tone to your taste. • Export / import — back up your notes and folders to a file, and restore them on a new device. • Dark mode — light and dark themes for comfortable reading at night. • Korean & English UI — choose the app language yourself. ■ Privacy • No sign-up required — start using it right away. • Your notes are stored only on your device and are never sent anywhere.
