What it does

Take a short word-recognition test to estimate your English vocabulary size. Then build on it: words you miss enter a personal review deck, while illustrated topics give you something concrete to practice each day.

The approximate CEFR vocabulary band is a starting point for self-assessment. Vocabulary is only one part of language proficiency; this test does not assess speaking, writing or your overall exam readiness.

  • Five ways to practice each topic: picture quiz, Speed Round, Memory Match, spelling and listening

  • Spaced repetition: missed words enter a review deck, scheduled for long-term retention

Frequently asked questions

How many English words do I know?
The test samples words at different frequency levels to estimate how many English words you recognize. Non-word checks help account for overclaiming. The result is an estimate, not an exact count.
What CEFR level am I?
The app maps your vocabulary estimate to an approximate A1–C2 band. This is a vocabulary self-check, not a complete CEFR assessment or certificate: it does not test speaking, writing or listening proficiency.
How accurate is the vocabulary test?
A short sample can give a useful vocabulary estimate, but results vary with the words sampled and how consistently you answer. Mark a word only when you know its meaning and compare results over time under similar conditions.
Can I learn English words with pictures?
Yes. There are 2,000+ illustrated word cards across 160+ topics. Practice with picture quizzes, timed rounds, memory matching, spelling and listening.
Which exams does it help with?
Vocabulary practice can supplement preparation for exams such as IELTS, TOEFL and Cambridge English. This app is not an official exam and does not predict an exam score.
Is the test free?
The core vocabulary test and its approximate CEFR vocabulary band are free. An optional upgrade removes ads and unlocks unlimited daily reviews, full history, charts and detailed analysis.
Does it work offline and what languages is it in?
The test and your review deck work offline with no account. The interface is available in 16 languages, including English, Spanish, Russian, Polish, German, French, Japanese, Hindi and more.
