Pick the job you need a word for right now. Each word also carries a writing-value score (★1–5) — my own teaching judgment on how versatile and exam-ready it is, not an official Cambridge rating.

Words you've learned

Filter by the job each word does in a piece of writing — useful when you're drafting and need a sharper word for a specific moment.

Word Ladders

A different kind of tool: instead of one new word, start from a word you already overuse and climb toward sharper alternatives. All 30 ladders from your Colours, Describing Words, Verbs, and Feelings decks are here — a few have one rung left out where a scan shadow made a word unreadable, flagged rather than guessed.

Cumulative quiz

Pulls from every word you've marked as learned so far — not just today's batch — so earlier words stay fresh.
