Minigames
Five free games, one memory. Every word you play is tracked per skill: knowing it by sight, by ear, or in a sentence are different things, and Severo keeps score of each.

Rounds
Guess first, learn after.
See or hear a real high-frequency word, commit a guess, get a 0 to 5000 closeness score. Hot and cold for meaning. The reveal teaches; there are no lessons.
Play →Ear
Trust your ears.
Hear a word, pick what you heard among the words that really sound like it: one sound apart, the almost-right tone, the stress on the wrong syllable.
Play →Fill
Put the word back.
A real sentence with one word missing and what it means. Type the missing word. Producing a word in place is what makes it stick.
Play →Traps
Is that claim true?
A word and a claim about its meaning. Half are true, half are the trap: the opposite, the false friend, the sound-alike. Call it, then read why.
Play →Senses
One word, several faces.
Words you thought you knew have more than one meaning. Tag each sentence with the sense it is using, then see all the faces side by side.
