What the vocabulary word generator does
This vocab word generator draws from a hand-picked list of useful English words – the kind you meet in books, news articles, essays and exams. Each one comes with a short definition, so you can learn it right away.
The words are sorted into three levels. Start with words you half-know and move up to harder ones as you go.
- Level 1: everyday words a step beyond the basics.
- Level 2: words for school and test prep.
- Level 3: advanced words for confident readers and writers.
How to use it
- Pick a level. Level 1, 2 or 3.
- Choose how many words. You start with a dozen; ask for more or fewer.
- Add letter filters if you like. Set the letters a word starts with or ends with, letters it must contain, or letters it must leave out.
- Press Generate (or the Space bar) for a new set.
- Read each definition, then tap a word to copy it. Open its three-dot menu to save it, check its syllables or find rhymes.
Ways to use vocabulary words
A daily word habit
Generate a few words each morning and pick one to use that day – in an email, a conversation or a journal entry. Using a word is what makes it stick.
Test prep flashcards
Level 2 is built for school and test prep, and level 3 goes further. Copy a batch, write each word on a card, and put the definition on the back. Review the cards you miss until they're easy.
Sharper essays
A precise word beats a vague one. When you revise, swap a plain word for a better fit from your list – but only when you're sure of its meaning.
Vocabulary quizzes in class
Teachers can generate a word of the week or a quick quiz. Read a definition aloud and ask students to find the matching word, or ask them to use each word in a sentence.
English learners
Learning English as a new language? Level 1 words are a great next step after everyday basics. Say each word aloud and write your own example sentence.
Dinner-table challenge
Pick one word for the whole family. Whoever uses it naturally in conversation first wins.
Tips for learning new words
- Learn a few at a time. Three to five new words a day that you actually use beats a long list you forget.
- Make your own sentence. Writing a sentence with a new word helps you remember it far better than reading the definition alone.
- Save the words you're learning. Saved words stay in this browser under Your words, so you can review them later.
- Mix the levels. Add a level 3 word to your level 1 practice when you want a stretch.
- Want something more playful? Weird words are strange and rare words, each with a short meaning.
