A new word every hour, right where you already look. WidgetWord puts a word and its translation in a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget, and each hour a fresh one takes its place. Tap the speaker on the medium Home Screen widget to hear it, or open the app for a fuller explanation and an example. Learn English, Spanish, or Russian from either of the other two: every combination of the three works in both directions. Pick one of six CEFR levels, A1 through C2. The word changes every hour by default; in Settings you can speed it up or slow it down, from every minute to every two hours. The system decides exactly when a widget refreshes, so a new word may sometimes show up a little late. There is no account, no course to complete, and no streak to protect. Every word, level, and widget is free. If WidgetWord helps you, you can leave an optional one-time tip in Settings. Tips do not unlock features. Your language choices and level can follow you to another device through your Apple Account when iCloud is available. The app has no advertising, analytics, or cross-app tracking. See the Privacy Policy for details about iCloud, purchases, the website, and support email. WidgetWord is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro. Widget availability and presentation vary by platform.
