Word Genius sends me an email or two every day. I waste a lot of time clearing spam and emails that I once thought I’d want to subscribe to. However, I always open and enjoy my emails from Word Genius. You can subscribe to get a word a day and I feel like I have actually learned a lot in the month or so of my free subscription. Some days, instead of a new word you get a mini quiz to test your vocab knowledge. I enjoy both the quizzes and new words. I even look forward to these emails on a daily basis.

Word of the Day

You don’t need to subscribe to enjoy Word Genius. The website also shows you daily words and has quizzes as well as more fun stuff to explore. Today’s word of the day is “noctambulate,” for example. Fascinatingly enough, WordPress underlines it as incorrect! It means ‘to walk outside at night.’ Word Genius shows the word in a sentence, tells you about the popularity of the word in history and you can hear it being pronounced correctly. Apparently, it was the most popular in the 1950s, but I say we should bring noctabulate back!

Daily Quizzes

Other than daily new words, Word Genius also offers daily quizzes. These quizzes are great because they give you a lot of information. You do need to subscribe to play, but I definitely recommend doing it anyway because the emails are so much fun! My vocabulary is average at best, but I often make correct guesses in these quizzes, which is very encouraging. There is always a button to learn more about the word in the quiz and just reading it will help you memorize new words and learn new things!
