Tomek_zemla, the developer of DictionaryGames.io, shared their new word puzzle app on Hacker News, designed to improve English vocabulary. Targeted primarily at ESL students but intended for all English language enthusiasts, the app aims to provide a more engaging and effective alternative to traditional vocabulary learning methods like flashcards. The app is currently in BETA, free to use, and requires no registration. Tomek_zemla is actively seeking feedback, especially from ESL learners and native English speakers. One commenter, AlexErrant, pointed out a problematic question with "daddy" as the answer, prompting Tomek_zemla to acknowledge the app's beta status and the need for further refinement. Another commenter, we_needit, was confused about the app's pricing and assumed it was paid before the developer confirmed it was free to use.

Show HN: I made a word puzzles app for improving your English vocabulary (dictionarygames.io)

English is my second language. From my experience, I learnt that developing your vocabulary is a long and arduous process. Traditionally, learners used flashcards (or their digital incarnations). I wanted to build something more engaging and more effective in building your vocabulary.

DictionaryGames is aimed mostly at ESL (English as a Second Language) students, but I am hoping it might be fun for any English language lovers.

The project is in BETA, it is free, and no registration is required.

I am looking for feedback to improve it. If you comment, please indicate if you are a native English speaker. I am in particular interested in the feedback from ESL learners.











Why do you make people pay yet you claim to be helpful...you know helping is not always about getting a reward in return right?


It’s free.


> Guess the missing word to complete the following sentence:

> Everyone respects him, he's the _ _ _ _ _ in this business.

Apparently the answer is "daddy"... this is not a good question or answer. Good luck with the launch, but you might want a native speaker to audit your question bank.



This is why it's still in BETA...
