About it

Dictionary Night rewards reading the parts of a word, the way a reader works out a new word in a book. It also shows how dictionaries write: a part of speech, then a short plain meaning.

Say it back
A lesson is kept once you've answered the question and written at least 8 words. Nobody grades it; it stays on this device.
