About this app

Learn a new language 16 words at a time.

16Word helps you build a vocabulary that actually sticks — in about 5 minutes a day. Learn 16 new words, lock them in with active recall and spaced repetition, and take a quick Tetris break between answers so your brain stays fresh and the words stay put.

WHY 16 WORDS?
16 words a day is roughly 5,800 a year — about the size of a working vocabulary in a new language. Small daily reps, big yearly results.

HOW IT WORKS
• Learn 16 words per level with flashcards — type or speak your answer.
• Clean correct answers earn Tetris pieces; a quick game every few words keeps you sharp.
• Spaced repetition resurfaces words right before you'd forget them.
• Short timed tests prove what you've really remembered.

FEATURES
• Many languages to learn from, with native pronunciation audio.
• Speak your answers with voice input.
• Synonyms accepted — answer in your own words.
• Streaks, achievements, and a leaderboard to keep you motivated.
• Works offline (paid plans) so you can learn anywhere.
• Syncs across your devices.
