About
You know more words than you use. Headword closes that gap. One new word arrives every day — on your Lock Screen, in a widget, or as a quiet notification at the time you choose. Each word comes as a full dictionary entry: a precise definition, its register (formal, literary, colloquial), real example sentences, pronunciation, its synonyms and antonyms, and the origin story when it's worth telling. Then comes the part other vocabulary apps skip: you use the word. A 60-second daily practice has you completing real sentences with it, choosing the word that fits the tone, writing sentences of your own — and saying it out loud. Recognizing a definition in a quiz is not knowing a word. Writing with it is. Headword is built for two kinds of readers: professionals who work in English every day and want to sound precise instead of approximate, and native speakers who read widely and want rarer, more exact words. The interface speaks English and Spanish; the words you learn are English. WHAT'S FREE, FOREVER • The daily word, complete entry included • Saving words and everything you've saved • All the widgets: Home Screen, Lock Screen, StandBy • Daily notifications at your hour HEADWORD PLUS • 5 or 10 words a day, delivered across your hours • Words from the topics you choose — work, law, science and more • Unlimited review sessions • Custom collections A spaced repetition engine schedules each word's return just before you'd forget it. Your data stays on your device — no account, no ads, no tracking. Headword Plus is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your Apple ID settings.
