TendWordFamily
Study this English vocabulary list, then practice by sorting the words in the game.
Family members in English — 59 family words like mother, father, sister and uncle, each with a meaning, an example and audio. Learn family vocabulary by sorting every member into the family category.
A vocabulary tool you can actually keep using. Fun, because you judge rather than recall — the question is which category a word belongs to, and a wrong guess stays on the board instead of stopping you. Easy to keep up, because a round is a minute, the daily goal is twelve words, and nothing piles up: no review queue, no due dates, no backlog waiting when you come back after a week. How it works, and what it does not claim →
