Study this English vocabulary list, then practice by sorting the words in the game.
Hobby and free time words in English — 31 words like music, film, guitar, fishing and painting, each with a meaning, an example sentence and audio. Learn leisure vocabulary by sorting every word into its category.
A game about putting English words where they belong. You get a word, you decide which category it is, you drop it in — and the deciding is what makes it stick. The word list is curated, ordered by how common each word really is, and limited to words that have one clear category, so every round has a right answer you can reason your way to. How it works, and what it does not claim →
