Expand your vocabulary beyond average. Lexfall teaches you advanced English one word at a time, without asking you to open another app all day. A new word arrives on your Lock Screen, in a Home Screen widget, or in a notification, so by the time you sit down for the daily lesson you have already met it. MORE THAN A LIST OF SYNONYMS Most vocabulary tools hand you ten synonyms and wish you luck. In Lexfall every word comes with a real definition, a sentence that shows it at work, its register, audio pronunciation, and a rarity score from 0 to 100, so you learn when to reach for it. Petrichor, the earthy smell when rain hits dry ground, scores 70. Sonder, the realization that every stranger lives a life as vivid as yours, scores 88. Definitions and examples are written for modern life, not lifted from an old dictionary. 20,000+ WORDS, SORTED BY WHAT YOU DO Choose the fields that matter to you: General, Healthcare, Law, Business, and New Words for the language still being coined. Whether you work in healthcare, law or business, or simply love language, there is a set built for you. "Say it precisely" collections swap the plain word you would reach for with the exact one. YOUR LEVEL, YOUR DIAL A short placement test sets your level on day one, so you skip what you already know. Then turn the word dial whenever you like: Practical, Balanced, or Rare. LEARN WITHOUT OPENING THE APP Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets surface a fresh word every few hours. Tap Save to keep it or Next for another (iOS 17 and later). Notifications bring words to you through the day. Adult life is busy. Lexfall fits around it. SAVE WORDS FROM ANYWHERE Reading something and meet a word you want? Select it in Safari and other apps, tap Share, then Add to Lexfall. It goes straight into your notebook. If Lexfall does not have it yet, it is saved as your own word with your meaning, and you can add your own example sentence to any saved word. Export your notebook as text or CSV whenever you like. WHEN YOU DO HAVE TIME A daily lesson that teaches first, then checks. Quizzes and games you can build yourself by topic, type, and length. Spaced repetition that brings a word back just before you would forget it. A streak to keep, ranks to climb, and a clear view of where you stand in each area. PREPARING FOR AN EXAM? Tell Lexfall your exam and your date, and it builds a plan to cover the advanced vocabulary you need in time, with a timed five-minute sprint on your exam's word list. Word lists for 15 exams: IELTS, OET, TOEFL, PLAB, TOLES, GRE Verbal, Cambridge C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency, TOEIC, PTE Academic, Duolingo English Test, LanguageCert C1/C2, Trinity ISE III/IV, Michigan ECPE and Linguaskill Business. WHO IT IS FOR People whose English is a gate to something: a licence, a job, a client, an exam. If beginner apps feel too easy, this is the next step. And if English is already your first language, it's 20,000 words worth knowing to sharpen how you think and write. Professionals who need precise language at work. Advanced learners moving from C1 to C2. Exam candidates. Writers and readers who want the exact word. Designed like a piece of print, not a noisy app. --- SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Lexfall offers auto-renewable subscriptions (monthly and annual) that unlock every professional field, exam list, and premium feature, starting with a free trial.

One word a day. Two minutes. That is the whole thing. LingoDrop is not a game. No lives to lose, no leagues to climb, no lesson tree to get lost in. You open it, today's words are already chosen, and then you are done for the day. And it remembers for you. Every word comes back on its own, right before you would have forgotten it, so the year actually adds up to something. TWENTY COURSES Learn Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Chinese or Hindi from English. Or learn English from any of those ten. Each course is a full 365-word year with its own progress, and you can switch whenever you like. Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Hindi show the pronunciation under every word and sentence, so you are never staring at a script you cannot read. WHAT A DAY LOOKS LIKE Today's words arrive in order, the most useful first, based on how often they really come up in conversation. Flip a card to see the meaning, hear it spoken, and read it in a real sentence. Say whether you knew it. That is the day. WHY THE WORDS STAY Every answer quietly reschedules that word. Ones you find easy drift further out; ones you fumble come back sooner. It is spaced repetition, the same method behind medical-school flashcards, except you never have to think about it. The app does the scheduling. You just show up. MISSING A DAY IS NOT A DISASTER The streak is honest: miss a day and it starts again, and it is never quietly fudged to flatter you. But you also carry five stars, and a missed day costs one star, not everything. Come back and you earn it straight back. WHAT YOU GET - 20 courses, 365 words each, ordered by how often the words are really used - A real example sentence for every word, not a bare translation - Spoken audio for the word and for the sentence - Pronunciation shown for Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Hindi - Words grouped into themed chapters you can revisit any time - Your year as one quiet grid, one dot a day - A daily reminder at a time you choose - A home screen widget with today's word - Friends, free: invite someone and keep a streak together KIDS MODE One switch makes everything brighter and simpler: bigger buttons, confetti for every right answer, gentler wording. Good for younger learners, or for anyone who wants a lighter touch. YOUR PROGRESS FOLLOWS YOU Sign in with Apple or Google and your progress, streak and stars stay in step across your devices, so a new phone never costs you the year you have built. The words themselves live on the device, so a bad connection does not stop a drop. You can delete your account and everything in it from Settings, at any time. PREMIUM, ONE PAYMENT, NO SUBSCRIPTION Every course and every word is free. Premium raises your daily limit from 5 words to 20, lets every available word through at once if you would rather move faster, and lets you change course freely. On a free account your first switch keeps everything; after that, switching restarts that course. WHAT IS INSIDE THE YEAR The 365 words are grouped into themed chapters rather than dropped on you at random: essential verbs, everyday phrases, food and drink, travel and directions, numbers and time, family and people, describing things, work and study, feelings, and the small connecting words that hold sentences together. Any chapter can be reopened at any point to browse or replay what you have already learned. NO ADS. EVER. No ads, no advertising trackers, nothing sold to anyone. One optional purchase is the whole business model. WHO IT IS FOR People who tried the big gamified apps and quietly stopped. People who want a habit that survives a busy week. Parents learning alongside a child. Anyone who would rather spend two honest minutes a day for a year than an hour once and never again. Brushing up before a trip, reconnecting with where your family came from, or just after something small that adds up. Two minutes a day, and a year from now you will have 365 words.
