Community reviews for WordWit

English is a tough language to learn as an adult and this app could make it a bit easier. Older students and adults new to the language could run through many pairs of similar sounding words. There is a "Master It" section where word pairs can be practiced in sentences. Clicking on any word will bring up more information on it, as well as a clever quote to understand the context of the word. There is also a Search option to alphabetically scroll through the word list. Overall, this app is helpful and easy to use. The words are colored (blue, red, green) which isn't explained clearly. However, a quick guide within the app also gives extra support when needed.

Word Wit is very simple in its approach to learning to distinguish between frequently confused pairs of words, ranging from very basic (than/then) to more nuanced (notorious/infamous). The application is very user friendly. "Spin" the wheel and you are presented with a pair of words. Read the definitions and sample quotations, and then go for "mastery" by completing a series of fill-in-the-blank sentences using the two words. The greatest limitation with this app is the lack of ability to choose a specific level of difficulty. A student might be presented with a/an as a word pair, immediately followed on the next spin with disassemble/dissemble. It is difficult to imagine a student who would need practice with both of these pairs.
