Master all three forms of English irregular verbs — base, past simple and past participle — in just a few minutes a day. 175 verbs, hand-picked by real-world frequency and organised into three levels: Core (the 53 verbs you can't live without), Intermediate (65 more) and Advanced (57 for polish and bragging rights). New verbs are introduced in frequency order, so every minute you practise goes into the words you'll actually meet. HOW IT WORKS • Smart reviews. A spaced-repetition schedule shows you each verb right before you'd forget it. Answer correctly and the interval grows; slip up and the verb comes back sooner. • Three difficulties. Recognise the right forms (Easy), type both forms from memory (Normal), or complete a real sentence where you decide which form fits (Hard). • Mistakes aren't punished — they're recycled. Any verb you miss returns at the end of the session until you get it right. • Tap the “?” on any card for a plain-English definition and a visual cue. KEEP THE FIRE BURNING • Daily streak with freezes. Miss a day? A streak freeze saves your run — you earn one every week of practice. • Combos reward accuracy within a session. • Boss rounds. Every chapter of 10 verbs ends with a hard-mode, no-mistakes challenge. Beat the boss to seal the chapter in gold and earn a bonus freeze. • Blitz. A 60-second speed round: how many forms can you nail? Beat your record and discover new verbs along the way. • Collection. Watch all 175 verb cards light up as you learn — from grey silhouettes to mastered gold. • History. Every session, boss fight and Blitz run is logged, so you can see your work add up. NO STRINGS ATTACHED No account. No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. Your progress lives on your device and nowhere else. WHO IT'S FOR Learners from A2 to C1, IELTS and Cambridge exam candidates, teachers and tutors after a quick warm-up tool, parents helping with homework — and anyone tired of second-guessing whether it's “swam” or “swum”. Download it, do one session a day, and irregular verbs will stop being the annoying part of English.

Learn English by scrolling. Watch short clips with subtitles, tap any word you don't know, and it's yours. WordHunter turns the scrolling you already do into English you actually remember. Every clip is real English spoken by real people: cartoons, documentaries, cooking shows, interviews. Tap a word you don't know and you get a clear definition in the exact sentence you met it. Keep it, and it goes into your treasury. SCROLL AND CATCH A feed of short clips, chosen for how clearly the English is spoken in them. Every word in the subtitles is tappable. See a word you don't know? Tap it, read what it means, catch it. No searching, no lesson plans, no homework. MATCHED TO YOUR LEVEL Tell us roughly where you are and the feed follows: A1-A2, B1-B2, or C1-C2. Enough that you can follow the clip, with a word or two worth catching. Change it whenever you like. EVERY WORD KEEPS ITS SENTENCE These aren't words from a list someone else made. They're the ones you actually ran into, and each one remembers the clip and the line it came from. You learn the word and the moment together. That's how they stick. REVIEW THAT MAKES IT STICK A quiet, two-tap review session built on spaced repetition, the proven "review it right before you'd forget" method. Forgot a word? It comes back soon. Got it? It waits longer each time. WATCH YOUR HOARD GROW Every word you catch becomes a gold coin in your chest. The more you review a word, the brighter it shines, from raw metal to gold to gem. Your whole collection in one place, growing every day. ALSO ON MAC AND WINDOWS Already watching something with subtitles on your computer? WordHunter for Mac and Windows catches words from anything on screen with one keystroke, and every word lands in the same treasury. Entirely optional. The phone works perfectly on its own. FOR ANYONE GROWING THEIR ENGLISH Studying for an exam, watching above your level, or just tired of nodding along at words you half-know. WordHunter is a calmer way to build real English out of the things you would be watching anyway. Your words. Always with you. Until they shine. Use of the app requires a purchase.
