WordSage is a vocabulary game for iPhone and iPad built around active recall instead of passive flashcard swiping. It combines four practice modes — a daily hint-based challenge, a timed anagram scramble, spaced-repetition flashcards, and a memory-matching game — pulling from a hand-curated library of over 1,000 words. Progress and streaks sync privately across devices through iCloud, and the app requires no account and collects no personal data.
Every mode pulls from the same 1,000+ curated word list — practice never feels the same way twice.
One word, progressively revealing hints. Guess it to keep your streak alive.
Unscramble letters against the clock. Chain guesses fast enough to trigger Fever mode.
Swipe right when you know it, left to review again. A proper SM-2 scheduler decides when each word comes back.
Find every word pair before you run out of guesses.
